I suppose you're feeding the linseed for the omega 3's? Well, omega 3's are present in fat and grass.
Cod liver oil does have a lower rate of absorption so could be a better option if you're worried about the calories. But imo, 50g really isn't enough to have an effect on weight - I'd look at the hay and any hard feed before considering removing the linseed.

I feed my exmoor ponies about 50g with no weight problems, so shouldn't worry.
