I think the calculations seem wrong to me.

At 190 lbs'
0.25 - 4 pills/tsp's per day
0.5 - 7 pills/tsp's per day
0.75 - 11 pills/tsp's
1.0 - 14.25 pills/tsp

Going by Carlson's for the liquid the EPA/DHA stuff seems right at 1300 mg of EPA/DHA

However to get 1.3g's of EPA/DHA for a capsule is pretty rare looking at the Carlson's capsules you'd have to eat 5 capsules just to get 1.3g's of EPA/DHA. Then multiply that by the above tsp recommendations....even for the lowest factor you are talking about 20 pills.
