Flax Seed VS. Flax Oil

[dbolme]

Can I just eat something with flax seed and accomplish the same thing as I would by eating something with flax oil?

Is there some sort of conversion I have to follow if so? EG. 1g flax oil = 5g flax seed?

I used to put flaxseed oil in my shakes. I think you should just stick with the liquid since it's easier to gulp down anyways instead of eating seed by seed.

Flax seed also contains carbs and some protein (about 10% I think).

Flax oil is just the fat.

I like to sprinkle a couple of teaspoons of flax seed in my egg's in the morning. It's easy and you can barely taste it. I also keep the oil on hand and put a teaspoon in an evening shake or just after dinner. It tastes like shit but oh well great omega-3.

i'd rather inject the shit than drink it.

I don't use any flax. I should start taking my fish oil supplements again, however.

why?

i'm taking fish sups and when i burp - even 2 or 3 hours later - smells like a rusty, stinky, wet warf.
