How much Flax? (also salty snacks)

[cobra108]

I use this deadly Flax oil blend called Omega Nutrition Orange Flax Oil. I toss it in
my PP but the label suggested 1-2 tsp daily.

Each 2tsp (10ml) is 80 calories
of course Omega 3 & Omega 6

Anyway my question is how much flax do you all take?
I'm 170lbs trying to drop about 5% BF.
looking for ways to curb cravings of salty snacks

Naturally I'm now using disciplin and willpower but I still want to know why my body craves this shit.

try to keep your daily intake of fats (not only flax) to some 20 - 30% of your daily caloric intake... after seeing how it goes to you on this basis, you can move it up-down to match your diet-style.

for me 25% works fine... that goes for about 3 tbsp flax per day plus whatever oil is in my bread and chicken breasts.

Use a couple tbsp of ground flaxseed, not oil.

Alot of the time during the processing of the oil the flax is stripped of nearly all its essential nutrients. Invest in a coffee grinder to ground them up.

according to my calculations, you will need about 4 (almost 5) tbps ground flax seeds to equal 1 tbsp flax oil... (actually 45 grs flax seeds = 1 tbsp oil, from the fat content point of view). I know cause I normally swap 1 tbsp oil for flax seeds with the morning oats

Nice point, to be more specific.
