Fish oil capsules

I have started taking fish oil capsules because I can't afford my cholestrol meds. It just dawned on me to check the label and see if there was any calories listed and there is! 10 calories per capsule, that means I have been consuming 30 calories a day that haven't been logged in on my food diary.
I have posted this incase someone else may be taking them and not realizing there is calories and other nutritional info on the label.

    yep, oil contains fat, fish oil is a healthy fat, thus contains calories. This doesn't surprise me.

    Yes indeed. I take 2 tsp of Flaxseed oil, and 1 tsp Sunflower oil every other day to get my essential fats. Those 3 tsp add up to 120 cals.
