Calories in Hemp Hearts?
I know these Hemp Hearts are really good for you with lots of protein and essential fats. They also taste great. Should I be concerned with the amount of calories 1tbsp = 80 cal 6.6g fat 5g protein 1.5g carbs. The recommended seving is 4 tbsp. These are meant to keep you full more satisfied and less snacking. Also tons of other benefits. 320 cals of my daily intake seems like alot. My thought is a calorie is a calorie and regardless of where it comes from I still need to burn off those extras. I try to limit myself to 1200cal a day. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
