bodyfat percentage and need for fat soluble vitamins - PaleoHacks.com most recent 30 from http://paleohacks.com 2013-05-25T16:23:13Z http://paleohacks.com/feeds/question/130441 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://paleohacks.com/questions/130441/bodyfat-percentage-and-need-for-fat-soluble-vitamins bodyfat percentage and need for fat soluble vitamins foreveryoung 2012-06-25T17:33:34Z 2012-06-25T22:38:58Z <p>This might be a really stupid question, but does anybody know whether or not your need for fat soluble vitmans increases as your body fat percentage goes down? </p> <p>The reason I ask is because I've noticed that when I'm running a bit leaner than usual, I get really strong cravings for eggs, and will end up eating anywhere in the range of 4-8 a day. Seeing as how fat soluble are stored in adipose tissue, wouldn't it make sense?</p> <p>Should I be worried about the PUFA? 8 adds up to a fair amount. If it means anything, I'm eating organic eggs from "Vital Farms," which are 100% free range and devoid of soy and grains.</p> <p>Thanks for your input/answers.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/130441/bodyfat-percentage-and-need-for-fat-soluble-vitamins/130496#130496 Answer by scottts for bodyfat percentage and need for fat soluble vitamins scottts 2012-06-25T22:31:07Z 2012-06-25T22:31:07Z <p>I don't know why your dietary intake of fat soluble vitamins would change with BF%. Human body fat does not contain any fat soulble vitamins.

You need dietary fat to get nutrients as they pass through your digestive system, a process that doesn't involve body fat. Your body can use stored fat for energy, but it doesn't enter the digestive system the way dietary fat does, so it does not have the ability to help the body absorb nutrients.</p>
