The best evidence available currently (See: https://examine.com/supplements/fish-oil/ https://examine.com/supplements/fish-oil/ ) points to an optimal 1:1 ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 consumption.
Since eggs and many other meats are richer in omega-6 fatty acids, for most people eating more fish or supplementing with fish oil helps balance omega-3 and omega-6.
- cgh 10y agoThe most concentrated sources of omega 6 fatty acids are actually plants and especially manufactured plant oils, eg sunflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil, etc. Meat and eggs have some but they also have considerable omega 3s to balance things out. It's best to avoid plant oils except for olive oil and coconut oil. Stick with butter, tallow and so forth, all great sources of balanced fatty acids.
