There is never any information on the container about calories per capsule of fats. They always recommend 2-3 capsules (bought in bottle, 1 TS). So why do they never say anything about calories in the capsules? It might just be me, but I don't understand if there are no / less calories in the capsules, then in liquid form.

When I calculate calories, should I then enter the same amount of calories for the capsules as for a TS of the same stuff? Or are there really no calories?

I don't know about your oil, but mine has all the nutrition info in detail. Each cap of my fish oil is 12.5 cals.

In the US they are required to have them on there, maybe not where you are. If it is a 1g capsule, it's about 10 calories. 1 g fat roughly works out to 9 calories.

(carbs and protein are about 4 calories/gram)

It doesn't even say what they weigh... :no: I'll try to put them on the kitchen scale. I bought Glutamine that was produced in the US, and they had it on the container, that's true. They were much smaller though. Thanks for the answers! When I take up to 6 capsules a day, it's good to know about the extra calories. :nod:

It doesn't say anything about milligrams? Like "x" mg of EFA? Like everybody said, if theres no information about anything, I'd just assume they're about 10 calories.
