Let $ABC$ be a triangle such that $AB = 7$, and let the angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ intersect line $BC$ at $D$. If there exist points $E$ and $F$ on sides $AC$ and $BC$, respectively, such that lines $AD$ and $EF$ are parallel and divide triangle $ABC$ into three parts of equal area, determine the number of possible integral values for $BC$.

Let's think step by step and output the final answer within \boxed{}.
