I'd say Yes. EFAs, particularly Omega 3, are very useful in fatty acid metabolism. They help you burn fat. They are just what their name implies, essential. Our bodies recognize them as such and they are shuttled off for business other than energy. EFAs are not used for energy. Counting flaxseed oil toward your daily calories is doing yourself a disservice on a LC WOL. If fat is what makes us full and keeps our bodies out of starvation mode, every Tbsp you count toward your caloric intake is 120 calories you're not really 'eating'.
