How should I track Seeds, flaxseed?
Seeds, flaxseed is high in fiber. Nuts like Seeds, flaxseed are one of the easiest foods to overeat. Research on portion estimation (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) found that people underestimate calorie-dense foods by 50–200% when eyeballing portions. A small handful can easily be 300+ calories. The best habit: pre-portion into 30 g bags or use a scale each time. Also check whether your nuts are raw, roasted, or roasted-in-oil — the roasted-in-oil versions add extra fat that is not in the raw nutrition values.
