Usually high protein foods come loaded with omega 6's, but not this baby -- chia is quite the opposite being an excellent source of omega 3's. Feeling Fuller for Longer -- when chia is consumed the gel action involving the soluble and insoluble fiber leaves the body feeling fuller for longer, because the fiber helps to slow everything down also giving the body a chance to "slowly" convert the starches to sugars for lasting energy.
