I was wondering if Flax was as fattening as say nuts or seeds?

It seems like I am sensitive to the fat in the nuts and seeds, and put on weight very easily.

I have just started making flax crackers with.......
ground flax soaked in water, and my spices and sea salt.

I was wondering if I ate more than my share of the crackers :D
do I need to worry about the fat content in the flax?

Thanks!!
Cathy

I made some today that was ground flax, and pizza type spices, YUM!!

only your body can answer that cathy... give it a try and see.

Each person's body is different. However, I imagine flax has significantly more fiber than either of the others you mentioned, so perhaps that will allow it to sit better in your system.

I believe FAT creates FAT, myself. So, I try to keep my diet low-fat now. Just find out how many fat calories are in it in comparison to carb calories.
