I like nuts but they can be problematic since they are so addictive. I think the nutrients and healthy fats can be worth it if I can portion them out. I never eat peanuts. Those I am too addicted to. Probably one of my favorite foods ever peanuts.

Yea, I gave up nuts a long time ago when I realized they have way more fats than proteins. They are tasty, though. Fats have over twice the amount of calories as carbs or proteins. Supplement my protein with a protein drink now.

Love nuts. Almonds are definitely filling. I found portioning out a serving and keeping up with fluids, I only eat 1/4 to a serving. I keep them at work for my long shift. I buy them at home but rarely touch them. My trouble is the mixed sweet nuts brought over to us by our neighbor. I take a few and keep it moving

You can always make nut butters and store them. They also make great gifts.

I love nuts and portion control is hard. Probably cause a serving is so dang small!

Thanks evryone. Didn't do so good with the nuts. And after all your support! Did fine to start with, had one little 1 oz bag one the drive. Check in is 3pm and not a moment sooner. It was dark just before 5 and around 7:30 I got into the nuts! Seemed like such a small amount. Altogether I had 4 ounces yesterday. Logged 2 for yesterday and 2 for today. So will actually eat less today to stay within my goals. I've logged what I plan to eat but that could fall apart.

I count out 23 raw almonds (1 oz.) once a day, if at all. Cashews are impossible to resist, though!

Mira I count almonds too. Usually have 10-20 a day for protein. I enter by the number of almonds. Never weigh them. Never tempted to over eat raw almonds. But nuts that are roasted and salted are too hard too resist

I love nuts but sometimes get in trouble with them due to the calorie to protein ratio. I try to eat them in moderation. They give me the most problems when I eat them as a midnight snack...

I weighed out my almonds just once and now I assume that 23 whole equals one ounce. Oh, I can't trust myself with roasted-and-salted cashews, Starbucks creme brulee almonds, or and honey-bourbon or praline pecans. The bottom of the can/jar/bag is my "limit"!
