    Do fish oil capsules have calories?

    I picked up some fish oil capsules. 1 capsule contains 1000mg (180 EPA, 120 DHA), but says nothing about calories.

    Starting cutting tomorrow so I need to account for my calories.

    Thanks.

    macronutrients (protein, carbs & fats) contain calories micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) do not...

    It depends what kind you get, but they all have some. It's not very much though.

    Ya I know 9 calories to 1g fat. The reason I asked was because I wasn't sure if the capsule supplements used some odd process of extracting good shit from the fatty acids without the calories.

    Just wanted to be 100%. I'll estimated 1 cap as 10 cals, so 10 a day being 100 calories. I think that's reasonable.

    Thanks everyone.
