Nuts!

[AngelaEEEE 24]

I'm at 12 weeks (as of Thursday) and I get between 1K and 1100 per day. My weakness is nuts and nut butters. My Protein and fluids are good, but the nuts keep calling my name. I think I may need an intervention

Yikes. I love those too, but I've gotten to where I refuse to give up the calories for it. I'm looking for the most filling Protein for the calories. I'm trying hard to stick to 800 calories, so I need volume!

I admit that I'm pretty "nuts" for the 100 calorie pack dry roasted almonds

They are soooo good and the whole pack is just enough of a portion for me. I really enjoy the crunch part of it too 

For a substitute for nut butters, you might want to try PB2. It's a powdered Peanut Butter that you mix with Water. It's something like 45 calories for two tablespoons and really low fat. Plus they have a chocolate flavored variety! It mixes really well in Protein Shakes, too. You can order online from Amazon or the company's website (just Google it) or a lot of health stores carry it. The company's website has a store locator.

Yeah, 400 cals of nuts just won't fit

Ooo....might have to try that!!

Dooter, it is freakin' awesome! They also have PB2 crackers that taste like Nutter Butters. They're sold in 100 calorie snack packs and there are about 15-20 in a pack. You could easily break that pack up into 3-5 Snacks and be completely satisfied. I you have a Central Market in your area, they carry the product.

Off topic, I just wanted to let you know I noticed your new avi. Although I loved your old one (I think it reflected your personality perfectly) you look really awesome in the new pic. Keep it up!

I love nuts but try to limit them, if I didnt I think I would just sit there on a bunch. I love the Blue Diamond honey mustard almonds, they remind me of those honey mustard pretzels.< /p>

I don't see what's so bad about nuts. They are healthy. They are a good source of Fiber and some are high in Protein. They are loaded with good fats. Don't eliminate healthy foods from your diet. There is a place in your diet for nuts. If we eliminated everything someone posted about eliminating we'd only be eating chicken breast and fat free ham. Eat some nuts..... please!
