Fat in pre/post nutrition

[Nitrox]

In most cases, I really don't think a small amount of fat is gonna be detrimental either pre or postworkout. It's a matter of proportion. If fat is the dominant macro on either end, then I'd say you're doing thing ass-backwards.

The voice of reason.

I don't see why some people feel that any more than a nanogram of fat in a pre/post WO meal should be avoided like the plague.

heck,theres a million training and dietary myths that have been and continue to be blown out of the water and shown to be false,so its always good to keep an open mind
personally the biggest thing i see flawed with this would be(again this is me personally and my stomach)the fact that even thinking about drinking oil or any other type of fat either pre or especially post workout makes me wanna hurl.noooo thank you

Liquid fats don't seem slow digestion. And MCT's are easily used for energy. However if you have any information that says otherwise, it would be appreciated. That is why I started this thread.

Fats slow down digestion.

Liquid fats, solid fats, it doesn't matter, they're all liquid fats by the time they make it to the intestine.

If taken in abundance, it becomes more feasible for them to skip the absorption step and leave the body (to put it cleanly). So taking pre/post workout fats will not only slow absorbtion, but hinder it as well.

I personally never said anything like that, merely pointing out Fats are not the optimal Pre/Post-WO nutrition energy source, and if too much is present on a consistent basis you could have some negative consequences.

Wasnt pointing fingers. Just mentioning that some seem to go to extremes to preclude any dietary fat from their pre/post workout meals.

Ahh gotcha. Sorry for the assumption.

I'm sorry but I never meant to mean that fats would be the "optimal" energy source....just one type of energy source.

Why Natty PB before Bed? (Oils don't slow absorbtion)
