While Omega 6 is a essential nutrient, eating it in large amounts can be bad for you.

Eating anything that fatty in large amounts is always going to be bad for you. What I should have been specific about was the portion size per times a week which is, a 3 to 6oz portion of fatty fish once or twice a week. So that means that per serving you get about 190 calories, 25g of protein and about 9 g of total fat, making this a good choice for a power meal before a workout.
