I guess I should have paid better attention in math class! Thank you for helping.

Hi,
Flax seeds would be counted as
I add ground flax seed to the majority of my baked goods. For a recipe of bread that makes 2 loaves, I generally add a half cup of ground flax. I have a little coffee grinder I grind it with. The amount you end up with per serving is pretty small though, like maybe a teaspoon or so I guess, so I don't think you would have to increase any servings amounts to account for it. If you think about it, as long as your serving size of the end result remains the same weight, then you don't have to count is as more servings, regarless of what grain or nut you add.

Thank you so much for the info.! I feel better now knowing how to approach the addition of flaxseed to bread, etc.

A South Beach grain serving is always one ounce.
