Have a read of this - all about chia seeds
https://authoritynutrition.com/11-proven-health-benefits-of-chia-seeds/

There are loads of recipes on line. You need to soak the seeds preferably over night as they swell up. A bit gelatinous so it is best to put flavours and fruit with them. Try these:

It is really good, coffee and peanut butter with fruit/nuts... it's a constant in my world.

Thank you, I'll take a look.

Two different breakfast.
I have either one of these.
Hard boiled egg with a slice of fresh Salmon, and Spinach. Cracked black pepper and a squeeze of lemon or lime.
Or
100g Skyr yogurt with a four to five of each. raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries.
Topped of with a sprinkle of seeds.

We tend to have full fat Greek yoghurt with nuts, milled linseed, chia, nuts and sometimes a few raspberries or blueberries, it's very quick and easy during the week when we're in a rush to get up and get to work. At the weekend, we generally eat later, just have brunch not lunch, and we usually cook, some kind of eggs, poached with hollandaise, scrambled or an omelette, usually with avocado, sometimes fried mushroom, sausage or bacon. If we're going cycling that day, we will allow ourselves some nice protein rich bread toasted with marmalade and burn the carbs off.

I do miss porridge, and find I can still have it without raising my BG too high if I substitute about 1/4 with oat bran, use jumbo oats and make it with almond or hazelnut milk. I usually add a dollup of cream or Greek yoghurt.

High CHO generally comes from carbs not fat, especially not mono fats. Many of us have found our CHO improves with a low carb higher fat diet. Some of us minimize saturated fat but others don't.

Are you using CHO as an abbreviation for cholesterol? I was really confused as it's normally used as an abbreviation for carbohydrate http://www.medilexicon.com/medicaldictionary.php?t=16924

Yes, sorry for the confusion. Is it just abbreviated that way in the US?
