Seeds and nuts have lots of calories.  And fat.  I guess if you eat too much of even a good thing, you can gain weight.  And I could eat a lot of nuts without ever feeling full.

I knew going in that being a vegan was NOT an option for me. Protein first.

And everything but meat and fat is a carb...and turns into SUGAR in your system. That is they way our body uses the food.

never thought of it quite like that but you are right.  food for thought.

Is there a lot of fat, calories and carbs in your diet?  Do you use butter, eat a lot of bread?  Are you vegan?   There are many ways to be vegetarian and overeat - in regards to healthy calories, etc.  If you do eat cheese, there are a lot of calories in cheese.  Serving sizes matter too.  Nuts are high in caloris and fat.  A serving of nuts is not a lot of food but quite a bit of calories.  If you do not track your food, try joining myfitnesspal.com, among others, and you will be amazed how quickly the calories, carbs and fat can add up.
