    Blue diamond smokehouse almonds = best late afternoon snack. Kills the hunger and so tasty. Just make sure you weigh what you are eating because you can start eating too many.

    I eat almonds pretty much everyday. I usually eat them with some beef jerky and it definitely satisfies my afternoon snack. I usually eat 15 almonds, around 100 cals and 5 pieces of beef jerky around 40-50)cals Great afternoon snack and all for under 150 cals.

    Just sent an email to whole foods to see if they have any at the store near me. Its a bit of a drive but i would totally go to get some.

    dill pickle chips have always been a weakness for me. I havent had any in at least 3 months and im starting to think i might need to find a way to fit a few in one day. If they have these almonds here too .. I am in trouble lol.

    I avoid them because they increase estrogen levels and I try not to interfere with my hormones since they're a huge factor in...well...everything. But definitely weight. I prefer raw walnuts. High in good fats (and calories), but worth it for the benefits.

    Almonds are OK. I prefer walnuts.

    Almonds are a part of my everyday diet. I make sure they fit with my calories by having calories left at the end of the day. I will have to adjust how many I have on any given day as to how many calories I have left. Same with cashews. I love macadamias more but they are too expensive to eat everyday :(

    Just a note- I work in the almond greowing part of the state. Most producers in the last few years have switched to more efficient watering techniques. The related trees, like apricots and peaches use the same amount of water.

    Now to answer, I eat almonds but not as much as I'd like because I get kidney stones and they are high oxalate.

    That was a childhood favorite treat. Too much sodium for me now.
