Karen, thanks. I should have known to look there.

Kristine, would you disagree with my descriptive choice of words?

So how did you find 3 Tbsp = 12 carbs (10 fiber)? I did a "browse" and came up with Flaxseeds under the "Seeds" sub-category of "Beans, Peas, Nuts" category. I clicked on it to add it to my food log, and it didn't even come up with Tablespoons, just cups, ounces, etc. So, I figured if there were 16 Tbsp in 1 cup, I could divide 1 by 16 and get .06 for a Tbsp. So, three Tbsp would be .18. The counts for that amount are as I included in the original post.

I use FitDay PC also (the one you purchase). What gives?

Edited to add:

Karen, one more question. I read in the link that Karen so kindly provided that you shouldn't boil it or even nuke it:
"use very hot, not boiling water (over 180ºF/82ºC will destroy the omega-3 EFA's ---- don't microwave either for the same reason)"
Doreen T said this. Do you agree? Would 30 seconds in the microwave on high really be a problem? I would be using 3 Tbsp seeds, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup heavy cream.
