I would appreciate your input and give points to honest answers

My psychiatrist suggests that I take omega 3 supplemental pills to help with bipolar.

I was wondering how many milligrams is a good amount for Omega 3’s or Omega 3-6-9’s???

I left my Omega 3 supplements in my car overnight and the temperature was -17 degrees celcius….is it still safe to take them? I looked on the bottle it doesn’t specify the storage temperature.

I’m 5′9″ and 160 lbs, taking omega 3 in 1000 mg pills. How many pills a day?

I am 22 years old and have a very fast metabolism. I track what I take in daily and have tracked the caolries I burn throughout the day using my timex ironman watch. Based on the information found below, what should I change or keep the same. Everything I eat is healthy food so I know I dont need changed there I am more concerned with how many calories, carbs, protein and fat I should intake per day.

Currently this is what I average per day

3400-4000 calories, 400-550 carbs, 220-270 protein, and 70-110 fat.

I try taking most of my carbs during the day and stick with lean meat and veggies and fruit later in the day.

I take a supplement shake before the gym and also after the gym (musclejuice) 1 scoop prior and 2 post.

I use the BSN mass stack and take 1000mg vitamin c’s daily along with omegas 3-6-9.

Today was an average day with no work I burned 3086 calories. A work day I would burn about another 500. I also already know about calorie defecit but havent tried it…..

I am a vegetarian and became confused whether if I should take fish or flaxseed oil supplements and then just decided to pick the bottle that contained both. The bottle says to take three daily with a meal, but I was questioning if that was too much? Also the dosages are balanced well. For example, there is much more Omega 3 than there is Omega 6, and Omega 9 has the least dosage. Thanks for the help! Other advice also welcomed!

As part of my weight program I’m dieting and doing a ton of running rather than working out like I had been. My goal is to get down to 200lbs by January. I’m currently at about 215 or so, down from about 225 over the summer. I’ve been running between 30-60 minutes per day for a weekly total of about 5-6 hours. I’ve read that 3,500 calories make 1lb of fat so my goal has been to create a deficit of 7,000 calories per week so that means 1,000 less calories per day which means I should be loosing about 2lbs per week. My goal has been to run off 500 calories and reduce my diet by 500 calories per day. The running part is easy, just run for 30 min or longer per day. Diet wise I’ve dropped down to 1,500 calories per day which seems to have worked so far. I wanted to know if you think that’s about right or if I should cut even more to say 1,200 calories per day ala Weight Watchers program, or if 1,500 per day is already pushing it. I’m counting everything I eat and keeping a log and so far I’ve been able to operate on 1,500 calories without feeling extremely hungry or weak during the day, though it’s definitely not the best thing to do for taste. I’ve tried to switch over most of my caloric intake to fruits and vegetables which have higher density but lower numbers of calories so I at least feel full even if I’m consuming less calories. I ask about 1,500 per day because on all the nutritional information on packages they are all based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Is that what a normal person eats? In a lot of the weight gaining and body building books they talk about 2,500 to 3,000 per day, even when trying to slim up. So I wanted to get your thoughts on all of these things. Also besides my 1,500 calories I take the following vitamins once per day: a general multivitamin, a calcium supplement, and a fish oil pill (for omega-3 fatty acids). Thanks in advance for any answers you all might have for me!

As far as numbers, I’m 28, almost 29. I’m 5′11″ and I currently weigh right at 215lbs, and I’m male.

I seem to feel an increase in my cognitive function 2 days after i drink ensure. Ensure contains Choline, Omega-3. I think choline might be responsible for my boost in cognitive functions. I’ve always felt brain slow for my age. I’m 21. I think I might be deficient in these nutrients.
