It doesn’t seem like you’re getting more than 90-100 grams of fat a day, unless you use it to cook as well. 90-100g seems fine to me, unless you’re dieting. If your diet consists of 3000 calories, this is about 30%, so if you want to, you can go a bit lower. But it’s really up to you.

I don’t really know what to tell you about the fish oil. It’s recommended to eat fish twice a week. Say each of those meals contains 10g of EFA, then more than 20g a week wouldn’t be necessary. If you eat 6 capsules a day, you’re getting about 42g a week. I’m no expert, but I’d say that that looks fine. May as well go above the recommended fish intake, and I can’t see it hurt you.

And yes, it is certainly fine to eat ay kinds of fats together (except trans fatty acids I suppose). Try opening the fish oil capsules and adding them to a shot of olive oil. Do that 3 times a day, and you’ll be able to eat bugs on fear factor soon:)
