Question Flaxseed Oil - Points?
I would like to start taking flaxseed oil. Does anyone know what point value it would be?

Thanks,
Jodie

Default Flax seed oil points.
How much are you adding?

Flax seed oil- 1tsp 40 cal, 4.7 g fat = 1.2 pts.; 2 tsp 80 cal, 9.4 g fat = 2.4 pts; 1 Tbsp 119 cal, 14g fat = 3.5 pts.; 1g = 8.5 cal, 1g fat = 0.25 pts

If you want to calculate the points yourself, http://www.nutritiondata.com/, is an excellent resource for information. And then you can use ye olde formula to calculate the points: (cal/50) + (fat/12) - (fiber/5) maxing fiber at 4g.

Good luck!

It is the same as all oils..1 point per tsp and 4 points per tablespoon.
