can I gain weight from evening primrose oil 1300 mg pr.day and 1 tablespoon of flax seed oil? I am bit sceptical since it is fatty acids. I know they are good though, but hope to not gain weight..

No...and quite the opposite actually. LACKING fatty acids can cause weight gain, since a deficiency can cause cravings, particularly for fatty foods.

Just make sure you're including the calories in these oils in your daily calorie count (1 gram of fat = 11 calories).

In fact yes, evening primrose can indeed make you gain, because it creates estrogen.
