On a carb cycle or a refeed cycle type diet, if your carbs are high (this is a relative term, but ya kno) I wouldn’t take fish oil. Keep fats as low as possible, you can afford to miss a day of fish oil. I believe I’ve read once, Justin Harris recommending to hold off on the fish oil for the day.
ooh, interesting question. I would think that you need a little more than 1g of fat to really slow digestion to any real noticable end. I will admit to not taking my fish oils PWO, but that’s probably just me overthinking and being overly cautious. If you’re really concerned, lower your dosing, or space your intake out so that you pop em a little while after each meal.

Yes, except it isn’t that simple, because fat, esp fish oil, will cause less of an insulin response. Even though there might be a right answer to the OP’s question, my guess is that it doesn’t make much of a difference whether or not fish oil is taken with high carb meals. For the little it’s worth, I try to take 3g with every meal, except PWO.

you are wrong.
fat stores itself just fine with zero insulin present. (google Acylation-Stimulating Protein to see how)
to the OP: 20g of fish oil is too much anyways. overdoing fish oil can have negative effects. 6-10g will give you enough of the active ingredient to maximize fish oils benefits (not to mention it’s easier on the wallet)
You will always get some trace fats from your foods. I got the picture that on high carb days you keep your fats as low as possible (goes for the fish oil too). If you have 1-2 high carb days a week, you’d still get your fish oil 5-6 days a week. Then again, that’s just my view!
