bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2006/12/08, 11:34 AM Pre contest everything changes. All calories are at a premium. However, if it comes down to something like oatmeal which has a 'tad' of fat, no need to count it, just overall calories. Fats will increase with dieting. You need to count your W3 intake more than anythting. A few mono's like a tad of olive oil, but even this will give in favor of W3's. Your other fats should be pretty much negligible. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
