I use chia seeds, but I've never counted them as part of my protein. I just use them in my shake because they make it thick and are supposed to be good for me and are good for digestion. If I were using flax, it would be for the omega 3 (although if you are eating the seeds whole, I think you don't get the omega 3 - they have to be ground.
