If you want to know how many chia seeds you can eat in a day, here's some information about that.

Adults can eat 15 to 20 grams (approximately two to three tablespoons) of chia seeds, whole or ground, per day. This will provide the daily requirement for omega-3s.

Children and teens from ages 10 to 18 can eat up to 10 grams of chia seeds per day.

Children under 10 should not eat more than a tablespoon of chia seeds

When used for cardiovascular health, adults can consume up to 33 to 45 grams of blended seeds daily for three months. Note: Blending high amounts of chia seeds into a powder is important so that the stomach does not get bombarded by too many seeds. The seeds can cause gastrointestinal issues and even get stuck in the lining of the digestive tract.

According to the nurse I talked to yesterday that is no longer believed to be true.

Welp, another good thing to know is.
