I don't have a problem with nuts (except peanuts which aren't really a nut and I just don't eat those anymore) but if I eat too many (paleo treat can be 'nut heavy') I don't feel as well so I typically stick to 1-2 oz at a time and don't eat them everyday.0

As a snack I have 10-12 almonds per day. Macadamias, about 8. Pecans, 4. I do one choice of nut per day. I find macadamias good for when I'm craving fatty foods, almonds when I want salty food. I don't do nut butters. I bake with coconut flour. If I have a piece of baking, then I wont have any nuts that day. It is definitely about moderation. And I really don't care about the fat/calorie side of things, because for me, nuts are a snack not a meal replacement.0

I know I rely on them too much when I'm low on calories for the day. I don't know if it is harmful to my weight loss or not to be honest.0

I eat a measured ounce of nuts daily and never seem to want more than that. Nut butters on the other hand can easily get out of control.0

Who cares about the calories? But I have always wondered why nuts get a free pass (from many) when they have the same anti-nutrients as grain? If nuts are "healthy" then the Paleo argument that grains aren't is just silly.
I definitely think macadamia nuts are the best of the nuts though. High calories yes, but most digestible and most beneficial, also yes.0 -
Actually, I know most of us are still caught up in the "calories in/out" thing, so that wasn't a comment aimed at you personally. Most of us "Paleo" peeps haven't been able to let that insanity die and it may just be what keeps some of us struggling. Always thinking eating less is better regardless that we may be malnourished and need to eat more in order to get well.0
