flax seed oil...
I've heard flax seed oil helps to up your calorie intake...I was wondering if the pills are as good as the liquid...And, is there any other advantages from taking it?

Pills are just liquid in a capsule form...there's no difference, IMO in taking pills or liquid...the downside of pills is that you have to take a LOT of pills to equal the same amount of liquid that you could just mix up in a shake or meal...
my preference is for oil...just easier to use

It doesn't taste the best if you're taking it straight, so i wouldn't recommend that. Try adding a tablespoon to a couple different meals (like a shake, or oatmeal in the morning, etc) - just mix it in.
Not sure on exact calorie measurements, so don't quote me on the amount. First thing you need to do is figure out how many calories your body needs - i'm sure someone on here has a formula for calculating your daily baseline for caloric intake. I'm not sure what they are anymore. Look into that - then add 250-500 calories above that.

Flax seed oil is very low in calories. I take 2000mg/day, which is only about 20 calories.

Any fat other than medium chain tri's are 9 call per gram. And 2000mg of flax is super low. I use udo's choice blend oil myself. refrigerated, never seen light, 125 call per tbsp 14.5 grams of fat. These are the poly unsaturated and mono unsaturated omega 3 and 9 fatty acids that lower bad cholesterol and raise the goos stuff. Now i'm sure each person has their own opinion on it all, so I will say for me it seams to help me get my imune system pumpin' I take it 1-3 times a day depending on the rest of that days due to I take in raw flax seed also for the fiber and protein bennifits. I think it's awesoem to mix it in at nigth with a protien shake so it makes digestion go slower and you get the amino release go later into the night. with calcium might help too to aid in digestion of that since D and K are both fat soluable.. I think. Someone call me out if i'm wrong it's been a while since I did my nutrition homework, but this is what I knwo abotu this subject. It's a HUGE mainstay in my diet weather cutting or bulking.

And i would agree that EFA's should be a part of any diet. That's why they're called "Essential" Fatty acids...

I hate the way the oil makes my shakes taste. I just swig it first before the shake. Don't know why, but that tastes better for me.

I love the stuff, its a huge part of my diet whether I'm cutting or bulking because I find a lower carb diet works well for me to lost some extra fat.

Every American should be on a flax seed source or fish body oil source as the Omega 3 fatty acid is the one we as Americans are the most deficient in. Especially bodybuilders should be taking this. 2000mg is a good dose for pills, and UDOs is about the best source I have seen.

High in fatty omega 3 acids. Good for all around health. I usually put the liquid in my cottage cheese, it sure does taste like shit.
