Roland, here's a quote from John Berardi. Again, I am assuming that he is talking about the total grams of each capsule (ie, if I have a 1000mg capsule = 1g, so take at least 6 a day).
“I consider fish oil to be an essential supplement for fat loss.
Data from the University of Western Ontario shows that fish oil supplementation increases lean body mass (during non-dieting conditions), increases BMR (by up to 400kcal/day), decreases inflammation, and improves the ratio of fat/carb oxidized (sparing carbs, burning fat).
Recommended dose: Start with 6-10g per day of total fish oil (assuming 30% EPA and DHA).”
