Lots of calories. Same thing with beef Jerky and nuts. Great for us but high in calories especially to us that do not have extra calories to waste. It's a catch 22.

I actually buy my pistachios at costco. They have the wonderful brand already shelled pistachios in bulk. They last quite some time and are significantly cheaper than buying them in other stores.
I don't like their other Kirkland brand nuts, I buy my other nuts on occasion from buddy squirrel nuts. I used to work there about 28 years ago. They do their own roasting and everything is very fresh. I will say these are a special treat because they are ridiculously expensive.

I ordered mine from unjury

I use Isopure unflavored protein from GNC

I eat them all the time for a snack. I have just learned to put them into 1/4 cup portions and I count them on my fitness pal. Along with cheese, nuts, jerkey and the occasional piece of fruit , they are the Snacks I focus on.
They actually fill me up and keep me full and have decent Protein. I am not a calorie counter although I do track my calories. I more so count my Protein and carb grams.

@@Veronica_mm Smart move - if they're not in your house, you can't eat them!

I've decided I'm just not gonna buy anymore. That is one snack that is dangerous for me cause I can't stop eating them. No more. That's what I'm gonna do : )

Awesome that's great to hear how far along are you? My doctor says first year worry about Protein don't count calories you only can eat so much and you really can't over do it so he says eat what you want after the year is another story!! He said I don't mean go eat McDonald's for the first year either lmao

I'm over 2 weeks out so don't know when I can add it in but Jose quinoa and broccoli cakes are calling my name

Anyone eat this? I saw a recipe that looks good it's cheesy quinoa and broccoli cakes but I figure you can slice some lil pieces of chicken in the pattie cakes as well seems healthy

Definitely more head turns for me. I notice and definitely my teenage boys notice lol. But I have known chubby chasers too. I loved those chubby chaser guys lol.

I don't think so you feel what you feel. Men are visual a holes lol and guess the majority like skinny minnies. It sucks how superficial they are and seeing how many more men are available to us now. What can we do...enjoyyyy : ))

lol yeah. I can easily eat a cup just like that. I stop there and they are definitely factored in to my 800 a day cal, but gosh that's my one thing I can grub on lol

I keep seeing this thread title as "Talking Heads with Hummus". I think I need to clean my glasses.

Excellent point! Thanks for adding that!

Yup. I love them, too.
Very calorie dense like you suggested.
I need to be very careful with them once I can resume eating them.

I have found I want them and I can eat them alllllll day long. My downfall. They got a lot of calories.

I do miss being able to just EAT. it's like why bother eating for me sometimes
