I didn't find any nutritional info, but I did find this that I found interesting:

A discussion of the benefits of evening primrose oil would not be complete without mention of the polyunsaturated fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), of which evening primrose oil is an excellent source (black currant seed and borage seed oils are two other good sources). GLA and weight loss. While weight loss and healthy weight maintenance is, and should be, a concern for all, it is usually of special concern to women. Page says, "People with GLA deficiencies produce more fat in their bodies. So, many overweight people, if they take evening primrose oil, will find that they will lose weight." She also notes that it can boost metabolism, helping overweight people to burn more calories.
