Take a look at the last three days of my Berardi diet. I’m trying to take in about 35g fibre per day, and today I’ve managed 24g, so I’m slowly getting a handle on that.
What I’m really worried about is my fat situation. I’m worried that I’m taking in too much saturated fats and I have no idea what my n-3 to n-6 ratio is or saturated to mono to polyunsaturated fats is.
Most people choose to supplement with flax oil, milled flax seeds, Udo’s Choice oil, fish oil or something of that nature.
Basically, other than fish and flax, there aren’t too many sources of n-3 fats out there.
My guess is you’ll just have to dig deeper into product labels to differentiate the fats contained, or look your foods up on an online nutritional guide.
It’s possible, but I can’t imagine that Berardi will want to do that for you…
Guess what? It turns out I can edit so I don’t sound like an ass.
I guess I didn’t want a macrovalue breakdown. I was hoping could look at my foods and say, “This looks fairly even for not supplementing with oils.” or “This is really skewed, get some oils immediately and try to reduce saturated fat.”
Enter your diet on fitday.com it will break down your fats into sats/poly/mono. You will have to figure out your ratio of omega 3 to 6 yourself though.

I’m six feet tall, 215 pounds, and 20% bodyfat according to my bathroom scale, which I just use as a reference of BF change.
I don’t know how to take accurate BF measurements because I’m a former fat bastard and skin calipers don’t work on my saggy skin.
An ounce (oz) is a unit of measure. It can be used for both weight if measuring a soild, Ex 16oz = 1 pound. Or it can be used to measure volume if measuring a liquid, in which case it is refered to as a Fluid Ounce (fl.oz.) For a point of referance, a soda can = 355 mL = 12oz.
