[1simple]

I was thinking to add olive oil into my shakes to get some good fat into mu diet. It is a good idea or should this come from foods?

I have heard and seen guys add in a tablespoon or two.

This is a very good way. It will slow down the absorption of the protein too. So it's a good option before bed.

Coconut oil and macadamia oil are also good to use.

I personally use coconut oil for cooking... sometimes olive oil. Olive oil or Mac oil for shakes. Olive oil for drizzling over pasta, salad or stir fry etc.

Add some walnuts and/or almonds. You could use peanut/almond butter too. Fats from meat and fish and your good to go.

I don't like avocado's but sometimes add those in too.

Olive oil is good but Flax is better.

Olive oil is good but Flax is better.

Why do you think it is better?

it is a good idea although I wouldn't go to that extreme

It's fine to add your fats into your shakes.

Olive oil is a healthy monounsaturated fat, but don't take much.

I have used both olive and flax. Olive oil had no taste, but I could taste the flax. It's not bad though.

I use both olive oil and flax in my shakes as they have different health benefits but I think fish oil is the most important good fat to supplement your diet.
