Flax for extra calories

[Benzi]

Alrigth, i started taking 4 servings of flaxseed oil a day to add about 800 calories to my diet. I only take them with my protein only meals as to avoid becoming a fat ass. My question is becaue i am taking so much flax does tht mean i should avoid as much other fat as possible or will it not rasie my bf if i don't. It's hard as hell to bulk without putting on unwanted flab.
Should i avoid taking flax before i go to bed? And how much is really recomended per day?
Thanks for the advice bros

I assume you mean 4 tbsps? That seems like a bit much.

I've been taking about three, and that's based on 1 tbsp for every 75lbs of bodyweight (I'm 220lbs). I've also heard 1 tbsp per 100lbs.

As far as your fat question, it depends on where your other fats are coming from. For more detail, I'd do a search or check out some posts from Mr. X or Blood Drinker. Those guys are excellent diet sources.

I'm not aware of any problems with taking it before you go to bed.

anyone else supplement with flax. Is so, how many calories per day?

I currently use flax i've only been using it for about a week i'm on a bulking cycle so I put two table spoons in each protein drink which is about three shakes a day this may be too much but I can use the extra calories.

I use flax with my protein drinks (2 tbsp.) You are supposed to use 1 tbsp. per 100lbs of bw.

4 servings a day is a bit too much. Go with 2-3 servings a day (2 preferably).
