Fish Oil

You don't really need a supplement for omega-6s unless you are eating an extremely strict diet. Western diets are full of omega-6s.

danbo - A normal 1000mg serving of fish oil has 300mg of Omega-3s in it, 180mg EPA and 120MG DHA. That would work out to 3600mg EPA and 2400mg DHA a day. So if you take extra potent oils you need to calculate out how much you need to reach those levels.

The ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 is supposed to be anywhere from 4:1 up to 1:2. I don't know where you guys are going to get your extra 20g a day of unsaturated fats the diet calls for but not getting enough omega 6s to counteract the omega 3s could be bad too. You'd be eating 6g a day of omega 3 on this diet. Peanuts are high in omega 6s.

Typical modern diets are so high in omega 6s it probably wouldnt be a problem average diets have up to 20:1 ratio.

However The diet is wrong to recommend that much omega 3 I couldnt care if it was caleed the "skinny pencilneck ethiopians look fat compared to me i blow away in the wind diet" it will not put on the mass for you but even be a hinderance.

It actually said something along the lines of "you need 40g of good fat a day, 20g of which should come from fish oils (preferably tablets and not solid food)"

Yeah but its wrong there is no scientific backing for it that is too much omega 3s and too little good fats.
