Omega-3 capsules: does it break a fast?

It depends

Each 1 g capsule has about 9–10 kcal of fat: one or two barely change anything, but technically it is food. It is also absorbed better with a fatty meal and can cause fishy reflux on an empty stomach, so taking it in your eating window is the practical choice.

Approximate energy: ≈10 kcal
