Hey! I try to have a tablespoon of flax seed oil a day - for obvious healthy reasons.

But, when I posted it into the food journal - the fat grams, etc. seemed to make the effort a negative one. :tongue:

Any advice?

    it is high in fiber and I would keep doing it. Very very good for you. The log is just a guideline. I put dry flax seed in my muffins and the benefits outweigh any bad I think.

    Advice? keep doing it :-P

    As long as you stay away from saturated fats, an extra couple percent doesn't matter in the end. :-)
