Chia Calories. A tablespoon of chia seeds, which weighs about 14 grams, contains approximately 70 calories. Nearly 40 of those calories, or 57 percent, come from fat. Another 9 calories, or nearly 14 percent of calories, are from protein. The final 20 calories, roughly 29 percent of the total, are from carbohydrates.
Chia seeds are one of the healthiest, most nutrient dense foods on earth. Chia seeds were originally used in the novelty chia pets because the plants are fast growing, but the real value is in the seeds. That's because chia is rich in Omega-3s, fiber, protein, minerals, and antioxidants. Chia has a long shelf-life and can be consumed whole without grinding or cooking.
