/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It's not all plant oils, just most of them. The harmful part are the omega 6 oils. (Proof that omega6 is harmful can be found in abundance.)

There's no one measurement of healthiness. People like olive oil for it's omega-3 fatty acids but they breakdown with heat anyway. It's only worth having olive oil for health reasons if its raw, as in a salad.

For cooking I use sunflower oil. It's practically the lowest in saturated fat which, despite what keto retards will tell you, is demonstrably bad for you.

>Coconut oil isa ctually really good for you.
Dumb shill, get good and learn to read or kill yourself.
Coconut oil has the highest level of saturated fat of any cooking oil. Combined with its essentially nonexistent levels of mono- and poly-unsaturated fats and its relatively low smoke point (just 350F/175C), it's basically useless. Almost any other function of fat could be better filled by some other cooking oil.

It's a dumb fad and you're stupid for mindlessly adhering to dumb fads without making your own decisions.

This is more nutritional but still interesting - the fat composition of different cooking oils. Interesting to note that butter is among the healthiest on the chart (high monounsaturated, low-moderate polyunsaturated, low-moderate saturated, no trans fat is the ideal makeup)

>'optimal' fat/carb/protein ratio
This depends on your dietary needs. Are you lifting weights? Are you sedentary? Do you run or do sports? Do you work an active job? Are you trying to build muscle, lose fat, both, or just maintain your current build?

Most of your food should be fat. Avoid high glycemic index carbs like potatoes, white rice, bread, tortillas, pasta; use carb allowance to eat fruits and odd bits of flavoring etc (1g carb in 1/4tsp of garlic powder!)

To build your own diet based on macros:
>Find a carb limit that works for you.
I workout and work an active job, so I aim for about 100g or less in carbs every day (average American diet is 350g carbs). Under 50g daily is your cut-off for ketosis.
>Find your protein range.
Protein can be synthesized into 'sugar' same as carbs in your body. If you're trying to stay in ketosis, it's more important to really limit your protein intake because too much protein will kick you out of ketosis same as carbs. If you're lifting weights and trying to put on muscle, you want to make sure you eat enough; /fit/ usually recommends 1g per lb of body weight or more, but it's important if you're eating a lot of protein that most of it is lean. Fatty meats carry saturated fats which can be detrimental in huge quantities.
>Fill the rest with fat and veggies.
Good fats, especially monounsaturated fats with SOME but not too many polyunsaturated fats. There are two kinds of polyunsaturated fats: Omega-3 and Omega-6. Omega-3 are naturally found in seafood, fish, some plants, seeds, etc. Omega-6 are more found in things like soybean oil and other processed oils. It's important to watch out for your ratio of O3:O6; having an inverse ratio, that is, too much Omega-6 with not enough Omega-3, is harmful to your system. Pick oils and fat sources with more monounsaturated than polyunsaturated fats. Saturated fats are fine in moderation. I think the best fats from my chart are olive oil, chicken fat, and pork lard.

You want polyunsaturated fats, pick any of them that have a decent amount.

Flaxseed oil is also good
