Serving Size. The University of Maryland Medical Center recommends adults consume 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed two to three times a day, or 2 to 4 tablespoons once per day. You can mix the ground seeds into cereal, yogurt, oatmeal or smoothies or sprinkle them generously on top of salads and vegetable dishes.
You must also make sure you are drinking enough water when adding flaxseed to the diet so grab a glass every time you eat flaxseeds. Flaxseeds actually absorb a lot of water, so if you do not drink enough, flax seeds can have the opposite effect and lead to constipation. Start with Â½ tablespoon a day and gradually build it up to 2 tablespoons a day. Sprinkle it onto your cereal or stir it into your porridge or yoghurt.
