An ideal body fat percentage is between 20-25%. So you needn't worry about further reducing it. With regards to omega 3 capsules, why not stop intake for a while and notice the change. Some things are not well tolerated by certain people.Instead you can include things like walnuts in your diet to naturally supplement yourself with omega 3. For increasing muscle mass, it is important that you keep your metabolism levels right and do not starve yourself at anytime, because it is muscle mass that is lost as a result.
Next Steps
Include things that are protein dense and not calorie dense. Egg whites, quinoa, amaranth flour are known to be power houses of protein. For more action points on the correct combinations of protein dense foods, you can contact me on direct consult. Alternatively visit me for a customised diet chart suiting your needs.
