    I'm so glad this topic got posted! I've been looking through my food journals trying to figure out how I used to get enough fiber. Didn't remember at all that I used to add chia seeds to everything.. lol Even still had some, they were still in the freezer.

    Those chia shots are already soaked, aren't they?
    Chia seeds are high calorie, like nuts. Measure with caution.

    TEy are really not that high in calories, people. I think they're great.

    14gram serving is 70 calories. I find that fairly high, esp. since they don't add any flavor.

    Yes i agree, they are high calorie especially for the portion size. I have one, maybe 2tbs everyday.

    I heard that when you eat chia seeds, baby chias will grow in your stomach.

    Chia pets are friends, not food. :wink:

    That's why they grow in your stomach, silly.
