Do you eat nuts?

I have been told that they are high in protein but high in calores, are they ok in small portions as a quick snack? And if so what kind would you recommend?

That's a rather personal question.

Just kidding. lol *sigh* I truly do amuse myself. But I digress.......

Yes, I love them and eat all kinds of them. Likely the best for you are almonds, which I love! Very okay in small portions as a tiny snack - good protein and good fat.

I giggled too Mike, so you aren't alone. Those nuts I don't eat but every other kind I do in moderation.

Took a minute, but I got it! You're rather naughty today!

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.

An ounce of nuts makes a great snack, lots of protein and good-for-you fats and fibre. Most kinds of nuts are ok, BUT pistachios, cashews and chestnuts are significantly higher in carbs than other nuts. Natural walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, pine nuts, brazil nuts, and almonds are all great choices.

I try to avoid (try being the key word), the salted ones, as I tend to eat more of them. I like to get nuts in the shell when possible too, because they take longer to eat and I get full quicker.
