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

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.

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

My surgery is on 10/26. Thr thought of pistachios is making me drool. Lol

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 : )

Same here.

I used to enjoy them with a Diet Coke.

Well.......there won't be any more Diet Cokes........at least for a long time so that will make it easier.

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

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.

They stop me up. I love them, but the discomfort is not worth it

There are also all kinds of nuts available in 100 calorie packages.

I'll have some of the in my desk drawer at work along with Quest bars.

@@Djmohr measured amounts make a lot more sense because it sure is more cost efficient than the 100 calorie packs I'll buy for convenience.

Maybe I'll buy them in larger quantities and spend a few minutes measuring them out into small ziplock baggies. Save$$$$$

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.

Awesome thanks!! I'm gonna check them out

I just bought more this morning..

Teehehee.

Just have to be strict about stopping myself with 1/4c.

Pistachio and other nuts are a good calories, there is a huge difference between calories from plants and calories from a Twinkie, my nutritionist told to snack on them also I can't digest meats so pretty much nuts and beans are my main source of proteins. I lost 110 lbs in 7 months, eating nuts and beans.
