assuming access to loop variable (incremented each loop cycle)

        btfsc lcv,1
        goto label
        nop
        nop
label:                          ; next line of your code


If I understand correctly, the bit test will take 1 op, the goto counts at
2, which is 3 ops.  Or, the bit test takes 2 ops and then 2 nops = 4.
This alternates between 3 and 4 extra cycles.
