mean definition. In statistics, an average of a group of numbers or data points. With a group of numbers, the mean is obtained by adding them and dividing by the number of numbers in the group. Thus the mean of five, seven, and twelve is eight (twenty-four divided by three). (Compare median and mode.)
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.
As you can see, there are countless ways to enjoy ground flaxseed and reap all the flax seed benefits :-). Well, a normal daily serving is about 2 full tablespoons per 100 pounds of body weight; that's about 20 grams and-amazingly-just 90 calories. So for example, if you weigh 150 pounds eat 3 full tablespoons... If you weigh 180 pounds, use about 3.5 - 4 full tablespoons of ground flaxseed.
