Supplements on Fast Days

Do you count your calories for supplements (i.e. cod liver oil) on your fast days? I am assuming yes, but am hoping for some feedback on how others deal with the high caloric supplements on fast days. When you only have 500 calories for the day, that makes a huge dent in what is available for food. I’d rather not skip the CLO since it helps my digestive and psoriasis issues.

    I imagine you'd have to count it and alter your food intake accordingly, after all they are calories you're ingesting.

    Officially...yes you count them. But 500 isn't a magic number. If you don't count them and still reach whatever goal you have set for yourself (fitness, health, weightloss), I wouldn't worry about them. I've never counted the two to three splashes of cream I put in my coffee every morning....still lost 28kg, am fit and healthy. :p

    Thanks, flume_t! It is good to be reminded to not be overkill on the process. :smile:
