Peanuts?

High in protien. Good or bad?

He Dan... good for protein kinda high in fat....for me soy nuts..the ones from sams or Kroger, have a better crunch, with less fat.... but all in all peanuts are good.... hey dude...go to the Texas board and do the TExas Tally...we are almost at 10,000 k Lost Russ

Dan, I love peanuts! IMHO an ounce a day for a snack is beneficial. They are one of the nutrition tools, along with fruit, that I have used to keep constipation under control. Sunflower seeds in the shell are good too. The fiber and fat definitely help. Just don't over do it. May Your Lantern Burn Bright, Paul

Both...Good Protein and essential fatty acids, but over all high in fat content including some saturated fats. The "good fats" that lower cholesterol are the Poly- and Mono-Unsaturated fats. Better ratio of Monounsaturated fats in- Almonds, Brazil nuts, Cashews, and Pumpkin seeds. More Polyunsaturated fats in Pumpkin seeds, and Walnuts. If you find a roasted soybean you like, such as "Soy-Nutz," Those are good sources of polyunsaturated fat (61%) and monounsaturated fat (24%) I'm an Almond Eater. Raw Almonds-good fiber, good fats, some bit of protein, keep me fuller, longer.... But peanuts are fine, jus****ch out, they are as addictive as ..... As....eating peanuts! Best Wishes- Dx

I agree with DX, almonds are the best !!!! Make sure there are no added fats though like fried almonds for example. Almonds are good fat !!! and contains omega 3 fat, which is like a miracle fat, google omega 3 fats and youll see, hehehehe take care, Robert =)
