One of my favorite foods is almonds. I buy inexpensive roasted no salt almonds. I put about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large fry pan and then add the almonds and roast them on med-high heat for about 10-15 minutes. I stir them around. I keep them in plastic ware in the refrigerator. Today I decided to add about

2 tablespoons of Splenda brown sugar. They taste awesome.

I love almonds! Have you tried the blue diamond flavors? I'm eating bbq habanero right now, very awesome :), and they have a lot of other really good flavors like lime chili and mint dark chocolate. Love them all! I like your suggestion, I'll have to try that too.

I can not be trusted with dark chocolate covered almonds. I just can't stop eating them. I always bought them from Trader Joe's. My surgeon told me almonds are very high in calories and to control my intake. Thank you for the suggestion.

I have to portion and then eat them, with the bag I either lose count of what I have put in my mouth, or start miscounting, like was that 16 or did I just eat 14? lol, :)

The problem I have with almonds is:

1 is too many and a 1000 is not enough, but that's just me. :D :D

I buy them and eat them as a snack on my drive home if Im hungry at 4 and don't want to be starving by my late dinner time (or cranky). It works out well. It takes a while to chew one almond, and with almonds I notice soft full sign and will stop before I finish my handful or if I feel soft time. I usually take about 12 from a huge bag (and don't go in for more) I keep in the car but I just made up that number, and always wonder how many is a good portion size, or the max portion size. Not oz wise, but amount of almonds. What do you think?

I actually just started buying the Blue Diamond honey roasted almonds and love them! Sometimes I just need a few. 40 calories isn't too bad for 7. I usually bag them up in servings of 14 nuts.

I am so happy to read that you all eat almonds. I was concerned I would have to give them up along with other nuts. Anyone have issues with digesting nuts? What about almond butter instead of Peanut Butter?

Never had it. I do eat natural chunky peanut butter with no salt. I live in the Boston area and near by is a company, Teddie's, and they make great peanut butter.

No to eat like that. But many years ago I have bought raw almonds and cashews for recipes where I would stir fry them. Are they good or do you cook them?

Oh, don't get me started with almond butter :), that is something I cannot control myself on, I really love it and eat a little too much, so I only get the whole almonds that I can control. And for the question on portion size, I have seen on different bags anywhere from 1/4 cup, 24 nuts, and 28 nuts, but I weigh out 1 oz on a scale as the size of the almonds can differ.

Nuts of any kind are a real weakness for me, they are kinda like potato chips were to the old love so I have to be very careful with them Your recipe sounds yummy.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
