But then I have had trainers tell me, and read on the internet, that the base to any good diet is a solid multi-vitamin.
Thoughts? Is a multi-vitamin more of a way to fill up the already full cup? Or is it just topping everything off to make sure it is well rounded enough? I find that my urine is bright yellow the days I take multi vitamins, usually a sign that I am peeing it all away?

Doctor recommendations are often comical. Did he say that after looking at your blood test? After analyzing your urine? Analyzing your diet? If not, how would he know what you should or should not be taking?
I take a multi-vitamin twice a day, and I've never had a problem. The chances that you're going to take something in such an excess that your body will suffer is rare.
As for the brightly colored urine. Vitamin B does that when it flushes through your system. Which it does very fast after taking the multi-vitamin. Mine is also brightly colored the first time I pee after taking the multi-vitamin.

That is the standard size I want for fish oil pills? 1000 mg?

Yeah.
Although if you buy the fish oil capsules that T-Nation sells, they give you a higher dosage.
Stick with the Webber Naturals though. Can you buy them at Walmart? I'm not sure, but usually I tend to by vitamins and fish oil pills at Oliver Health Foods in Lethbridge. Health Food stores usually don't care cheap brands.
