Omega 3 capsules: Omega 3 capsules contain fat,an average of about 15 calories. Read the label of your capsules to determine how many calories a day you're consuming. 15 caps x 3 would only be 45 calories-- not a great amount. Some feel that omega 3 helps either dry or oily skin. Your pharmacist can probably give you more information about weight gain and also oily skin.
