Do I calculate Flax/Fish oils into my fats?

[clsupnorth]

I take 6 g of flax or Udo's oil daily for omegas (vegetarian, so no fish oil). But not sure if that gets tallied into my fat totals for the day. And if so, I assume 6 g of oil would equal 6 g of fat, correct?

[Aaron_F]

yes

[clsupnorth]

Well, that was easy. Thank you.

[Blondell]

yep

[Patricia]

I do.
And, eww...

[Blondell]

Nope, I get them.

Some brands are better than others for that.

Funny you should say that b/c the brand tht I bought this last time hasn't given me any at all. What makes it different?

I take Barlean's. http://www.barleans.com/
For some reason they are orange flavored, but I have never tasted either fish or orange (or orange-fish) when taking them. No burps http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/8624/burphp3.gif

Orange-flavored fish oils? :huh:

[Patricia]

Gross but...
The first time I noticed this it was early in the morning...
I was driving...and then.....you know....and I think to myself
"WTH? I didn't eat fish this morning...I haven't had tuna in forever..what is that taste...." Then I remembered....:barf:

Seems like more expensive ones are better for not repeating, but when I buy cheaper salmon oil or something I usually get the burps. It sucks but I'd rather be cheap lol

[learning]

I never get fish burpies... I am thankful... :)

Fish oils- BUY ENTERIC COATED ones. They don't start breaking down until they are far enough past your stomach. Regular ones start digesting IN your stomach. That's why you get the burps.:puke:

You will not get the burps anymore if you buy the enteric coated ones.

Just for info's sake, I only take the flax oil caps, and they give me nasty tasting 'oily' burps, too. So it's not just a fishy thing.

Why do you do that?

[smuggie]

Why do you do that?
I presume it's because she's a vegetarian.

Yeah, that's exactly why. Or I'll take Udo's oil... but no fishy stuff for me...
