^^Hurt, funny thing is I ran out of Extra Virgin Olive Oil one day, and since I had a large amount of GSO laying around, I was like YOLO!! haha...Its actually really tasty, give it a try.

We fry with canola due to its higher smoke point than olive oil. We bake with a canola/apple sauce combo for brownies. And for salads we use evoo with balsamic vinegar.

Coconut Oil is another one of those things that I can't figure out if it's healthy or not, it has a lot of saturated fat, but supposedly some of it is MCTs which actually don't get stored as fat and can help you burn it... I've seen alot of conflicting information out there on it. Macadamia nut oil is the healthiest in terms of the fat profile, and its tasty, I put it in protein shakes sometimes but i've never cooked with it. Its expensive as fuck too.
For the most part I'm like you Hurt, Coconut oil once in a while, mostly EVOO.

I have been going low fat and it's working well. Pretty much the only oils are the grapeseed I inject.

Mostly Canola oil since it has the best Omega blend. Also Extra Virgin Olive Oil for some things.
