    if it's just a gram a cap, then i would go with at least 3/meal AT LEAST. Thats only 9 grams a day for you. I like it straight a lot more, cheaper gram for gram and you don't have to swallow those damn caps. I use it as salad dressing w vinegar, not so bad

    caps are garbage. in my pro/fat meals, i have 2 tsps of flax, which is almost 10 g of efas, you would need to have 10 pills for that.

    not nearly enough fats from thepills

    I can't stand the oil either. What I do is down the flax..hold it in my mouth and poor water in my mouth and then swallow it. Works a lot better than coming close to throwing up like I do when I do it straight..

    yeah chest that's what i do. just kinda suck it back and keep it under your tounge so it doesn't hit your taste buds then drink some water and swallow all at the same time. then take another swig of water, can't even taste the oil

    I do the same, but I hate when a little bit of it gets on your lips, and you dont notice it til you pull your fingers off your nose, and you taste it on your lips. EWWW.

    Without regards for taste, they are the same!
    The liquid is far more economical.

    i bought a bottle of them and it says take 3 caps after a meal. So is it like 3 caps after every pro/fat meal(for me its 3 meals) or 1 caps for 1 meal

    The label instructions are for standard/non-bb'er (serious or recreational) usage. You have to take it based on your diet, goal and bodily requirements.
    Diet: If fat restrictive you'll need more. Generally 1 tblspn per 50lbs of bodyweight, but this varies w/individual need.
    Goal: If cutting, monitor the layer of fat atop your abdominals it is the most responsive to extra fat.
    Body: Assess the noticeable areas where fat is integral, be sure your scalp and skin are not dry, and that your joints are well lubed (bursa sacs).

    My 2 cents:

    I don't remember the calculations for my body, but I'm 200 pounds (was) and I was instructed that for a good cutting diet, I need 60grams of fat per day.

    That adds up to 12 teaspoons of flax oil (not including some fat here and there in other foods). In order to do this, you would need to take like 50 efa capsels. You dont' get nearly the same amount of efas in the capsels than you do in the liquid form.

    I bought capsels a while back and haven't used them, big waste of money mna, just go with the liquid.
