How much fish oil should I be taking??

[BuddhaLuv]

Hi, I am 16 year old teenager looking to get down to 8% bodyfat, right now I am @ 170 pounds, 5'9 & probably 11-13 % BF. I am taking in ATLEAST 200 grams of protein, 2000 calories a day, 6 meals spaced out every 2 hours. HIIT every other day, still lifting VERY HEAVY & please don't say I am to small, I am a soccer player & I am looking to get in my best shape possible.

I recently bought some fish-oil however.. stupid me.. thought all fishoils were the same so i bought the cheapest kind.. which is about EPA 180 DHA 120. so my questions are.

How much grams of fishoil should i be taking??
would it be okay to take 20 capsules a day??
How much should be taken to actually make a difference in my fat loss regimen??
Does it matter when I take my fish oil?? like after before workout?? right when i wake up? before i sleep??

thanks for ur time


& dont worry I'll make sure to spend some extra cash next time lol.

how much does the bottle recommend you take ?
I take all my pills with breakfast so I don't forget, It doesn't really matter lol

Aim to take in 2-3 Grams combined of DHA/EPA daily. Look at your tablets and see how much each tablet contains then work out how many you need.

I take 6 1500mg tablets a day which gives me about 2.5grams

I eat 6 meals per day & take 2 w/each meal
