Flaxseed is amazingly versatile! It lends itself to a wide variety of foods and even beverages. To really expand your use of flax so that it forms a significant part of your everyday eating habits, it sometimes helps to see how individual recipes can fit into your overall meal planning. The following Women’s Slim-Down Flax Diet calorie level shows just how easily you can incorporate flaxseed into your life.
For most women, 1500 calories per day combined with a regular exercise program will assist you in losing those unwanted pounds and meeting your quota of Omega-3 fats. Feel free to make slight adjustments to meet your needs. If you feel that the calories are too low or too high, we recommend you contact a registered dietician (RD) in your area to individualize a program just for you. Can’t find an RD?
