Sorry for the noobie question, I did use search and I couldn't find a really conclusive question.

How much Green Tea Extract is good to take for fat burning, and more importantly, how much EGCG should there be?

In the "Atkins Accel" tablets I take now it says that there is 600mg Green Tea leaf extract per tablet with 50mg of that being caffeine and 90mg of that being EGCG. I take about 3 of these a day, so that works out to 1800mg of Green Tea leaf extract, 150mg of caffeine, and 270mg of EGCG.

Should I be getting more EGCG in my intake? Thanks for any answers!

No, that is a good dose to be taking daily. You are doing just fine.
