if you’re busy like me, efficiency is king. i have no problem getting in some good carbs and protein when i’m busy and have little time to cook, but i need a way to get some good fats in quickly. i tried drinking a cup of olive oil with water to help it go down, but that didn’t sit well with my gi tract. what do you guys do?
Take fish oil, eat salmon, eat almonds, and put olive oil on vegetables (don’t cook the oil).
a cup is lot of oil, my buddy would do a shot (1.5 oz) of olive oil 3-4 times a day. get the light version (light refers to the taste, not calorie content) if the taste is too much to handle or just chase it water. Or you could go to Sams Club and buy the cocoa roast almonds, 2lb=7 bucks. Pack a few handfuls in a sandwitch bag and bring it to work and have them as a snack.
A cup is 216g of fat and 1910cal
Put light olive oil in shakes, you barely taste it and it only slightly modifies texture.
I use 2-3 tbl spoons several times a day in my shakes.
Save the extra virgin stuff for when you actually wanna taste it, like to cook meat with.
Avocados are excellent snacks.
You need your fat to come from the following categories:
Coconut: milk of oil - Fry your meats in coconut oil or add the milk to shakes (do not add oil to shakes because it solidifies at temps cooler than room temp)
Olive oil - Add oil to shakes, veggies or salad
Fish oil - Fatty fish or capsules.
Borage oil - (which provides GLA) Capsules.
Organic grass fed butter - (which prides CLA) Fry foods in it or melt it over veggies.
That’s pretty much it. That will provide you with all the fats you need and will be cheap and easy. Get to it and get growin!

Those are great, although I would certainly include nuts in that category.
Pecans, almonds, and walnuts have the most health benefits.

How could I forget nuts! I must have been, well, pardon the pun, nuts. The list wasn’t meant to be a sort of “only acceptable fats list,” but rather a list that covers the bases well as far as all the essential fatty acids that most people lack in their diets. It basically has everything that FA3 and Flame out has in it. Nuts have some of the healthy fats, but the omega 3s, 6s, and 9s are already provided in the fishoil and olive oil that I suggested. Nuts and seeds do have excellent mineral (and some vitamin content), i.e. magnesium and zinc in pumkin seeds, but that’s what ZMA is for, duh 
(note the sarcasm in my suggestion that whole foods are replaceable with their supplement form. While Biotest has done a good job of it, there is no real replacement for whole foods, nor do they (Biotest) intend their products to be a replacement. The fats sources I recommend are primarily based on the whole foods sources, that impart healthful benfits, that inspired the design of their products FA3 and Flame Out)
I just discovered they sell quarts of coconut milk at my local grocery store, and it’s cheap. MONEY!

That rocks. Oil is still prob cheaper though when you measure gram per gram fat (look at online prices. I got 52oz for like $11)
Cool. I def want that for cooking…
but now my cereal has options… hemp milk is a good choice (when its on sale) too
good stuff guys, i appreciate it.

it was a small cup; about 30g of oil.
Thought you meant the measure “1 cup”
How about whole milk?
Most of the fat in whole milk is saturated fat, and most of the polyunsaturated is in the form of omega6. If you eat store bought red meat, you really already fulfill the needed amount for both of those.
