1 TB of oil is 13g fat, 0 fibre and 0 protein.
Looks like as far as fat goes it's more like 10:1 ground seed to oil (but that's closer to a 2/3 cup of ground flax and about 300 more cals than 1Tb of oil).
Ground seed has more bang for the buck.

I will have to do some research on this, but essentially, the others are right. Unless you grind them up really well, they will pass right through you. I see what I can find out.

Just go to a department store tomorrow and buy a coffee grinder. You can get them for under $12.

Coffee grinder is your best option. You could use a mortar and pestle if you want a minor forearm workout
