    Cashew nuts. If i get afternoon munchies that is my only vending machine choice that is not sugar laden. Usually have trouble sticking to a small quantity and wish I had later.

    @AngInCanada HELP ... what kind do you take? Since I'm trying to stay under 20 carbs 6 is a lot to loose.

    @reblazed I take natural calm. This is what the website lists "Natural Calm – Flavored:
    Calories: .28 calories per serving (2 tsps./4 grams)
    Carbs: .068 carbohydrates per serving (2 tsps./4 grams)"

    I take 1 TSP every night so it's what 0.034g carbs.

    Would 1 teaspoon be less than 200mg magnesium?
    I'm assuming if @reblazed is getting 6g carbs, they're taking a higher dose of magnesium. Around 600mg is what I've read is a recommended starting dose.

    @Sunny_Bunny_ and @reblazed
    Yeah a TSP is 205mg magnesium. But even if I took 600 mg, there'd only be 0.102g carbs for 3 TSP.
