i just down it and swallow a drink or dilute orange juice straight after
i have a question do you count the calories from the fat as i have 2 tablespoons of flax seed oil (250) and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil (375) and a protein shake 180 after this there is hardly any calories left for food surely you cant just live off oil and the odd meal of say fish and green veg???

from a caloric point of view, all fats are the same. This obviously doesn't apply to their nutritional value or we would all be eating mayonnaise by the spoonful.

a tbsp of fat will set you down 130 cals and 14 grams fat

You need to work out your ratios, there is no fixed formula that says you HAVE TO drink 2-3-4 or 10 tbsps per day, it varies according to your caloric requirements and the ratios you are following on your diet.

One thing stands true though, as a minimum, one should aim for 20-25% fats in your diet.

The "ugggh flax tastes bad" thread comes on and off at least once per month.

This quote here is BY FAR, the best answer I have ever read on this topic:

You did say you were waiting for this thread a few days ago. HeHeHe.

Take your flax seed oil like a man and quit being a little bitch.
