Carbs in olive oil?

Postby Tricks on Tue Jan 03, 2012 2:21 am

Have been told by some people there is lots, like 33 carbs per tablespoon and by others that there is none?

Also am thinking of starting the MANS diet with low carb days on mon, tue, thur, fri, with a high carb day on wed and sat and sun.
Am having trouble tweaking my current diet to get rid of all my carbs for low carb days and replacing them with fats... What sort of fats has anyone else had success with?

Thanks.
Loki.

I think people are confusing carbs with calories. There are 0 carbs in Olive oil but 40 calories in one teaspoon.

On the MANS diet i get my fats from whole eggs, fatty cuts of meat, olive oil and nuts. I mix whole raw eggs into my protein shakes. Tastes a lot nicer than it sounds. It does with vanilla protein anyway :)

Bacon, Cheese, Mayo and Coconut Oil are all faves of mine.

Cheeseburgers, string cheese, tuna, cottage cheese, all natural peanut butter, and chicken are tops on my list.
