I am all about the almonds! I need a dried apricot or two afterwards for that touch of sweetness, but a couple of those and half a serving of almonds is much more filling that a 100 cal pack of anything!
I love pistachios! I usually eat 1/4c at a time (this is an in the shell measurement.) Not only are they yummy, but since I have to work for them I eat them slower.
I'm the same as lynnm39. I absolutely love nuts. I know they have healthy fat, but I just can't seem to limit myself to a small portion. So, I need to not eat them at all.
I put a tablespoon of walnuts on my cereal in the mornings. It keeps me going through school and working out until I get back home for lunch. Sometimes I sprinkle the walnuts into my yogurt. I have to measure them out and be very disciplined.
I eat nuts, love cashews and can eat 2 whole cans in one sitting..so have stop buying them.. now I get peanuts, least favorite and usually have them twice for a snack with water or with diet coke.
I love nuts as well! On South Beach, one serving of nuts is 15 almonds or cashews or pecans or walnuts or 30 pistachios or 8 macadamia nuts. I always take them as a pre-portioned snack when I'm going to be out, because if I eat them at home I always want to go back to the cabinet for more!
I just saw in the grocery story the other day that they now have "100-calorie" packs of nuts, too. That might just be the solution for those of us who can't control ourselves (it's much easier to avoid overeating when I don't have to dip my hand into a can)
I'm a nut-fanatic! I especially love cashews and almonds. I could eat them all day long if I could, but since I'm on my weightloss journey I have them as snack on occasion.
I too love the Almonds, I usually eat them for lunch. I stick to the one serving most of the time, although its hard to just have one serving. I love the variety of flavors available like Jalapeño, Onion & Garlic, Smoked.....mmmm Yum!
I love pistachios but I just bought a box of them. And it says 170 calories per serving which is 1/2 cup. Then it says theres 3 1/2 servings in a box. So How many pistachios is that?? I love them and could probaly eat them all. I just want to count them out so I get the right serving.
