I have been trying to find out how many calories for the Flaxseed oil capsules? Do you count them? I don't normally count for my vitamin, but I have been taking them for a long time, the Flaxseed oil is new, so want to check.

    I take Women's Flax + and it's 35 calories for 3. I count them in with my breakfast.

    Good question. I have been taking flaxseed capsules for years. But when I started MFP, I never thought of putting any of my supplements in me food diary.

    I dont normally count vitamins as part of my calories, mainly because I will probably burn that much off walking around the house or to the mailbox. BUT, it never hurts to add as many as you want to add. I have never taken Flax Seed though.

    I don't count them either. Depending on the day, I'll take anywhere from 1 to 3 flax capsules, 10-30 calories. It's probably the ONLY think I don't count!

    Thanks everyone! I won't worry about counting them either.

    I definitely count mine (but I take calcium, fiber, Vitamin C, Antioxidants, and a multi-vitamin, so with about 10 calories apiece that adds up). Calories are calories. Not counting your vitamins can be like sneaking bites when cooking, it all adds up.

    I believe there are a lot of flaxseed oils already in the food database. The one I take is 15 calories per capsule. I have just begun logging my supplements, not necessarily for the calorie count but just to remind me to take them each day!
