Personally, I've decided chia seeds are a good way to get more fiber. Also a good source of omega-3s. More calories than some other options, but I like the idea of whole foods. They have a decent mix of soluble/insoluble fiber.

Chia is not a good source of omega-3 because they are primarily ALA Omega-3:

“ALA, the most common omega-3 fat, is an essential fatty acid that is converted into EPA and DHA. However, this conversion process is inefficient in humans. On average, only 1–10% of ALA is converted into EPA and 0.5–5% into DHA”

Thanks, TIL.

Chia is still a great food anyway and I eat some almost every day! Good fiber. Just get your Omega 3 somewhere else.
