[bran987]

Skipping the flax oil would be wiser though

I'm with juve on this one. Granted I don't consume 20g daily, but I'm constently at the 10g area with 30% EPA/DHA (1800mg/1200mg).

I'm sure you'll all be happy to know that I did that the correct amount of fish oil today, 2tsp instead of 2tbsp.. and now I'll take the 2tbsp of flaxseed oil this afternoon. If you were curious, I did not end up growing gills or a dorsal fin.

Uhh, I take 4 tbsp fish oil daily - I love to swim, but I can run pretty fast (well at least them joints and inflammation don't bother me)

Consume fish oil in the morning to suppress inflammation, since in the morning COX is at the peak!
Consume fish oil in the evening to be assimilated for neural tissues and recovery processes!

i.e. - consume fish oil all fk'n day aNd be solid as rock (fish oil=ppar alpha agonist=fatty acids oxidation)!!

teach me something! what is a COX
???
*sigh, ok that sounds funny but seriously what is COX?

 

[BrandonXJ]

[juve]

so in your opinion, if I were looking for somewhere to add a few hundred calories per day and start putting on some muscle (assuming I already am getting sufficient protein), going up to 400 calories per day of fish oil would be a good place for some or all of the extra calories?

Just eat a stick of butter bro..

kidding.. We'll see what Juve has to say about that, but fyi, 3tbsp of the fish oil I got would = 405cal, and 45g fat. How much are you taking now?
