HI Mammoth:
I don't know which way to vote on it but I'll give you my flaxseed thoughts
The majority of the calories in flaxseed are the oils. However, there is such a large fiber base that I would *suggest* that perhaps not all the calories are absorbed by the gut due to the high fiber content. I have flaxseed muffins almost every morning and I just consider it a part of my food total (meaning I don't then have 2 eggs and bacon, counting my flaxseed as invisible calories).
Maybe you could count them at 1/2 the calories?
