When should I eat Chia Seeds?

Ok, read the 50 plus pages on the chia seeds. My question is:

1- Should I use them before each meal to make the digestion last longer?

2- Should I incorporate them in something for an after dinner snack to curb hunger until bedtime?

Thanks for taking time to advise.

    From what I just read, they should be incorporated into your foods. Sprinkled on cereal, oatmeal, rice, yogurt ....what ever floats your boat. I don't know what would happen to them if you cook them into food..ie, muffins, breads, but it sounds like being ingested is what breaks them down.

    The fiber the seeds contribute alone, would make not make them a great idea on their own-to much fiber at once with nothing else to help it along. Don't forget your water for the day:D
