 Let \( \triangle ABC \) 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 \( BC \).
