How healthy are nuts?

Seriously this is trolling not seen since the heyday of news24. And kak at that.
 
nuts are good for you. They have essential fats, one cant say eat x grams of nuts a day thats nonsense. You need to look at what type of nut you are eating and what you eating them with. Salted peanuts arent good because of the salt. So you need to count your kilojoules and see your diet in a complex manner to grasp what you need to eat.

For almonds you if you about average size you can eat 5 to 8 almonds as a snack and that depends on how many snacks you allow yourself. If you have 3 meals and 2 snacks or 5 meals and 1 snack or whatever.

The best way to find out would be to consult professional advice from books, if you want it for general health or weight loss/control

I'm still trying to figure this mystery out. Sorry for the way we treated you.
 
How the hell did he get that custom title? I thought you had to have like 5000 posts.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. It must have been something serious for the mods/admin to grant it. And he's replaced all his OPs in all his threads with smiley faces.
 
The best nut in my opinion is cashew nuts. You will also notice that a lot of diets requires that you eat this as a healthy snack in between meals. An small handful would suffice - but it needs to be the plain unsalted ones. They do contain fat - but its healthy fat. The reason for eating them is because they have a high contents of protein as well. You need fat in your diet - healthy fat that is - and this is why they recommend to eat a little bit of nuts every day.

I eat any nut, bar the cashew. Just can't hande it's "stupid" taste. :p
