Hey, I’ve been on the T-Dawg diet for about a week and i was wondering:
How much EFA’s do I need to consume every day? I weigh about 195 pounds with around 11-12 percent bf,and i’m on 3000 calories a day.
T-Matt-16, you should be taking in a total of .4-.5g of fat x LBM. Your LBM is 171 pounds, roughly. So TOTAL fat intake per day should be about 70g - 80g or so. Fat should be roughly divided between saturated, monounsaturated and EFAs. Meet your EFA requirements first with fish oil high in EPA/DHA (6-10g), and go from there.
I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
