Omega fatty acids! actually burns bad fat. you need it to build muscle on a low calorie diet

Helps with cholesterol also. I like getting mine from salmon.

Ground flax seed are unlikely to provide enough n-3 fatty acid content due to the poor conversion rate of ALA-> EPA and DHA in the body.

Get a good fish oil supplement. A pharmaceutical grade fish oil is a good bet. You'll get a higher concentration of EPA/DHA (better than any actual fish body oils that you might get from food or supplemention)
