over 1200 calories in flaxseed oil?????

[skinnybastid]

can this be true that 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil has 1200 calories????? and if it is true do i count that in my high calorie diet......for example..........if i am eating 4000 calories a day and i put 1tbsp of flaxseed oil in my protein shake..............do i need to subtract that 1200 from my 4000?????

NOT TRUE !!!

One tablespoon of flax oil contains between 115-120 calories. It says so on the label on the bottles. Don't know were you came up with 1200 calories figure.

It is good fat ( essential ) meaning the body can't produce it on its own. Take 2-3 tablespoons a day on you'll be fine. If your on 4000 calories a day on a bulking cycle, another 400+ calories isn't going to hurt I think.

Do a search to find out more on flax on this site or on any search engine. Later.

There is about 14 grams of fat in a tablespoon of oil.Since 1 gram of fat =9 calories,than 14x9=126calories....
