Fish Oil

[Guest KyGuY]

Hi all,

 

Can anyone tell me where fish oil fits with WW? Two fish oil supplements equal 25 calories and 1200 mg of oil. Does this count as 1 point and 1 of your daily oil requirement?

 

Thanks.

Unless WW has changed this requirement recently (I didn't have a meeting the last few weeks), fish oil capsules do NOT count toward the Good Health Guideline. The oil has to be liquid.

Oil is liquid and Fish oil is a liquid inside a capsule which disolves.

From the WW web site:

 

Why is 2 tsp of oil each day recommended for both the Core Plan and the Flex Plan?

 

The oils - olive, canola, safflower, sunflower, or flaxseed oil – are recommended as they are a good source of essential fatty acids and Vitamin E. The inclusion of 2 tsp per day helps ensure that these nutritional needs are met. Oil capsules, vitamin E supplements, or seeds (flaxseeds) cannot be substituted. While those on the Core Plan should include 2 tsp of oil each day, those on the Flex Plan will need to count 2 tsp of the recommended oils as part of their weekly POINTS Allowance.

My husband takes these and I should too. You could just count for them. They are good for inflammation.

There isn't a teaspoon of oil in that. Take a capsule apart and measure it. If it isn't on the list it doesn't count.
