Alright my weight is stalled at 190 and im desperate to get to 205-210 by winter break (december/january). Im already drinking a lot of whole milk now but i want to add in shots of olive oil. first question, how does taking a shot of olive oil taste? and second question: how many calories are in a shot of olive oil? thanks!
Taste like ass, just pour in the back of your tongue without breathing, drink it, immediately drink something sweet like crystal light.
It’s brutal. Cement mixers don’t produce the gag reflex that EVOO shots do. I seem to like the torture as they are apart of my breakfast every morning.
Enjoy!
Olive oil is 120 cals in 1 table spoon.
Ive taken shots of it before it hurts.
Id much rather take some bread or something and soak it in it and then eat the bread.
I think olive oil tastes really good straight like that.
It makes me shiver but it doesn’t taste too bad.
A tbsp has 120 calories. I’ve calculated my shots to be 300ish. Your’s might be more or less.
do it man it doesnt taste to bad If you dont mind the taste after you try it you can also just put it in your shake.
What I do is put a little juice, like orange juice in my mouth, like 1/2 a tablespoon and hold it there and then take the olive oil shot so it kind of goes on top and swallow.
I find this gets rid of basically all the taste, not that its that bad and you don’t get any sort of throat burn that I sometimes got.
Olive Oil is pretty tame, but I swore by this method when I was drinking flax seed oil.
yeah i do this. what’s with the throat burn?

That’s how you tell the good shit.
is 1 shot = 9tsp or is that wrong?

I imagine a shot glass to hold about 3 TBSP, so yes.
Depends on the quality. As noted above, the “good shit” will make your throat burn.
I recently started adding whipping cream to my shakes. Not only does it make it taste delicious, but it’s also a great way to get in calories (and vitamin A).
What the shit?
I quite enjoy the taste.
A little glass of olive oil is hardcore? rofl.
usually I just stick a tablespoon or so in my mouth and then have a sip of water to wash it all down.
Flax oil tastes like ass however.
will it really make a difference taking olive oil shots to gain some lean weight or… just one of those things that people do

Well it adds to the person’s caloric intake so i’m guessing it helps people gain mass.
I’m going to try this tonight.
Why don’t you just add it into your milk or shakes that you’re already drinking so you don’t have to worry about its taste? Generally speaking, cheaper olive oils have less flavor and are milder. The same goes for light vs. extra virgin.
I’m looking for any cheap sources of calories. How much of this could I have daily without it being too much? When does it get unhealthy? An actual shot of it, 3 tbsp, every morning, would be too much or just enough?
I’ve taken a couple shots of olive oil before…poor choice, it taste so bad.
As for how much is to much depends on your diet. You said you were drinking allot of whole milk so I’m gonna assume you taking in a large portion of calories from carbs (50%?). I wouldn’t go over 50% of calories from fat and you still want to get a variety of healthy fats. Maybe you can post you caloric breakdown and from there we can say how much is to much.
There are easier ways to add calories.
