I sprinkled 1 Tbsp of chia seeds on my omlette this morning.....they have zero net carbs (5 carbs and 5 grams fiber). I hope these are ok!?? Anyone else use them? They are nutrient dense, have Omega 3s....I have read that they are better than flax seeds.

Re: Chia Seeds
So seeds are strictly a rung 3 addition.
Atkins does suggest adding a bit of bran or flax for fibre or for constipation on induction if needed. Personally I think chia when used for those purposes would be fine.
Also there would be a bit of carb in it even though the label may round it to zero
