Title: too little omega 6 in my diet
Post by: ratherbebig on November 15, 2016, 11:12:58 AM: ideal is a 1-1 ratio between omega 3 and omega 6.
most have a 1-15 ratio which is bad news.

i got a 1-2 ratio. 2 grams of omega 3 fish oils and about 4-5 grams of omega 6. so everything should be good then - but no, because recommended intake is 15-17 grams of omega 6! which means to have a 1-1 ratio you need 15-17 grams of omega 3s and who eats that?

so as it stands im getting 150% omega 3's but only 25% omega 6. i cant figure it out.

The only ratio we're concerned with here is your "shit threads to threads started" ratio which looks to be 1-1.
