EFA's are healthy fats. EFA refers to Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.
Fish oil is loaded with Omega 3, and that kind is the hardest to get in your diet. Nuts have some omega 3, but are much higher in 6 and 9.
The average person needs less saturated fat, and usually are fine on 6 and 9...but lack 3. Eating salmon and taking fish oil caps (about 8-10 per day for average person) is a good way to supplement enough into your diet.
Take 2 caps per meal, except post workout...that's 10 caps a day there. easy to do if you just take them.

nope. 1 fish oil cap is only 1gram of fat, probably less than 1/10 of the fat the nuts had.
fats don't work against each other, but you do wanna spread fats out throughout the day. I like to have a few fish oil caps at every meal cuz they are large and real fun to swallow...trying to take 10g at once would be a chore.
but no fat in yoru post workout meal.
