I've been looking for something to do with flax seed for ages. My requirements are to get 15g of flaxseed every day with the minimum of fuss, carbs and calories.

This is a recipe I found and modified. It's 3 net carbs per generous slice and 142 calories. I eat it with stained greek yogurt, which is just like cream to me, and some fresh berries. My husband, who has a real sweet tooth, sometimes adds a little Splenda. 1 slice a day gives me all the omega-3 I need. If you don't eat a lot of fish, it's one of the few ways to get your omega-3.

I buy the eggs that are 660mg omega-3 per egg. 1 or 2 eggs and I'm good to go.

You don't say how many servings you get from the recipe - how many slices to get the 140kc/3 carbs portion?

Hi

It did say at the top :) . Serving Size 8.

You can slice it into 12 for a portion containing 10g of flax. That would give about 95 calories and 2 carbs.
