I have a hard time controlling myself when it comes to eating nuts. I love them. I lose control! Especially nut butters. So like anything…..too much of even a good food source will make you FAT!

Maybe I am an anomaly, but I do not find nuts to be satiating Not immediately anyway. I guess I have’t paid much attention to my food intake later in the day though. In fact, after having a serving of walnuts or almonds, I immediately want to eat something else.

Rambodoc, I think you can call it paneer (I assume that’s what it is?) if it was strained and pressed.

On nuts, some people are very good at controlling portions and it seems like it’s always easier if they are raw, since there is longer chewing involved and a higher satiety. Roasted, salted, spiced just make it worse both on the nutrition and the compliance front.

Great read, Lyle, thank you

I think a mistake people make with nuts is eating salted or, worse, sugared. These seem to trigger binging –it’s easier, for me at least, to have just a few nuts if they are raw or dry toasted, no salt.

Great article – I use nuts as a great healthy snack to hold me over until my next real meal – Still, it seems like handful of nuts is more nutritious than what most people eat for a regular meal -

I use nuts every day to my daily mid-morning snack of fresh curdled milk. I wish I knew a better term for it, but it is the cheese you get by curdling milk (I use double toned milk). I find it good for increasing my HDL (good lipids) levels, and gives satiety. I think an almond gives 7 calories per piece, and a walnut around 42 calories a piece. Overall, the snack I mention carried around 200 cals.

I find that I really need to watch my nut intake. Just a little bit really bumps up the carbohydrates. I use them more to flavour a dish rather than on their own.
