Connieliv, nuts are their own category. You can only have one of the following each day:
- 30 pistachios
- 20 peanuts (without the shell)
- 15 almonds
- 15 cashews
- 15 fillberts (hazelnuts)
- 2 Tbsp natural (no sugar...just peanuts and salt) peanut butter
Oil doesn't factor into that equation.
No, there isn't a range of calories, Connie, but using fitday helps us keep track of what we are eating. That way we know if we are eating too much fat or not enough protein. For many of us, we find that over time, we overeat on this plan and need calories to keep us in check. Not everyone has that problem, but those who do find sites like fitday helpful. If you aren't having that problem, no need to check.
magpie, I've found that if you know the nut'l info per serving for the recipe, you can just enter it as a custom food on its own without having to enter the ingredients. That's pretty fast. But I agree...it's not easy.
