2 teaspoon (medium) of Fish Oil (Omega 3, 2000 mg) (10 g) has 90 calories. That works out to 900 calories per 100 g. It contains 0 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 10 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 1 µg of Vitamin D covers 5% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Fish oil is oil obtained from fish and a source of omega-3 fats. In this product, it comes in smooth softgel capsules rather than as a bottle of liquid oil, so it is taken as a supplement, not used as a cooking ingredient.
The capsules are usually swallowed with water, often alongside a meal as part of a daily routine. Their coating helps limit the fishy taste, though the flavour can vary by product. Nutritionally, fish oil is essentially all fat, with no carbohydrate or protein. Follow the serving directions on the pack, and keep it with your regular meals if that makes it easier to remember.

Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
GLYCEMIC INDEX

Omega 6:3 ratio 0.1:1
Below the ideal 4:1 — a good omega balance.
Fish oil supplies the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, which support normal heart function. Its listed 2,000 mg may refer to total fish oil rather than the combined EPA and DHA, so those amounts are not automatically the same.
The right daily amount depends on the product’s EPA and DHA content and why you are taking it. Follow the package directions rather than assuming that 2,000 mg of fish oil equals 2,000 mg of EPA and DHA.
Yes, taking fish oil with a meal is often easier on the stomach. Food may also reduce fishy aftertaste or burping, a common reason people prefer taking the capsules with a main meal.
Yes, you can take fish oil at night; there is no established best time of day. Taking it with dinner may be convenient and can help limit stomach discomfort or fishy burps.
Fish oil can lower triglycerides, particularly at higher doses, but the amount used for that purpose may differ from an over-the-counter serving. Do not replace prescribed cholesterol or triglyceride treatment with fish oil.
It can cause reflux-like discomfort, nausea, or fishy burps in some people. Taking fish oil with food may help; if symptoms continue, stop and ask a healthcare professional whether the product is suitable for you.
Fish oil may affect blood clotting, so people taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet medicines should ask their doctor or pharmacist before using it. Discuss it before surgery as well, and do not stop prescribed medicine on your own.
Fish oil may be used during pregnancy, but the product and dose matter. Fish liver oils can contain vitamin A, which is different from standard fish oil; ask your pregnancy-care clinician before taking a supplement.
No. Fish oil is one source of omega-3 fats, while “omega-3” refers to a family of fats that also includes those from algae and some plant foods. Check the EPA and DHA amounts to compare fish-oil products.
Store fish oil away from heat, sunlight, and moisture, and follow the package directions; some products need refrigeration after opening. Discard capsules that leak, stick together unusually, or develop a strong rancid smell.
