Chia seed

Chia seeds are tiny, hard, black or white seeds that are high in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Chia seeds include 138 calories per ounce (28 grams), 5 grams of protein, 9 grams of fat, 12 grams of total carbohydrates, 10 grams of fiber, and only 2 grams of net carbohydrates. Chia seeds may also be used to provide extra crunch to cookie recipes or as an ingredient in smoothies. A common low-carb meal called chia pudding is created by soaking chia seeds in milk or juice for several hours until they take on the consistency of jelly.

Up to 10.6 grams of fiber may be found in 29.5 grams of chia seeds. Only 14.3 grams of chia seeds are required to supply 40% of the daily recommended fiber intake. This is why chia seeds are one of the must-have snacks on the Low Carb menu. Without having to worry about the number of carbohydrates, using chia seeds daily will provide your body with all the nutrients it needs. Furthermore, chia seeds have a significant amount of fiber, which helps people feel full quicker and stop craving food.
