leeyah - different quality capsules will have a varied amount of fats. Check the container label and it should list how much fat is in each capsule. Just add that to your total fat intake for the day.

1 gram will have one gram of fat. However, you need to pay special attention to the omega-3 content of the capsules.

EPA and DHA.....this is what makes marine sources of EFA's much better than plant sources. It is readily available, where plant sources use the parent ALA and the body has to break it down, which not all folks are good at.

I would tak 2-3g morning and 2-3g night(4-6 total).....if you're very active or you're currently trying to lose weight....I would then take 4-5g morning and night(8-10 total).....
