The big confusion is just that the absolute recommendation for amount of fish oil caps is meant for the standard caps that have
300mg EPA+DHA combined
contain 1000mg (or 1 gram) of oil
The recommendations that you see when it comes to increased fat loss most often is either 6 or 10 caps (for normal standard sized standard amts of omega3)
If your fish oil has different amounts of EPA+DHA combined you need to do the math..
Some people still take liquid cod liver oil as they can't stand caps .. you have to weigh a bit more careful here. From what I gather 100ml of CLO has 18g (18 000mg) of EPA+DHA combined, so to get 1800 mg you need 10ml (grams work fine too) .. to get up to 3000mg that's 3/18 x 100ml = 17ml of CLO.
Dunno about you but I am no longer willing to spend 153 kcal on fish oil alone when I can get it in just 45 kcal (5 caps of 630mg EPA+DHA combined).
When cost was more important to me than calories, I have taken up to 20ml of CLO a day.. actually for over 2 yrs.
