Yeesh! Stay away from the holiday pecans!

ACK! My office just had some roasted pecans delivered from a vendor. I grabbed a handful (without looking on here first, oops!) and I think that one handful was half of my calories for the day! Yikes! To the gym I go at lunchtime. Wow.

I love pecans but they are very high cal. At least they are not Junk.

I love those things too! Were they the kind with the crunchy cinnamon stuff on them? When I go to the mall and get a whiff of the fresh roasted ones it is really, REALLY hard for me to resist. So.......I don't go to the mall much during the holidays! :bigsmile: And if I do I make hubby drag me away from the counter before I can get into trouble! Plus drool all over the counter!!!!

I keep looking for a pecan nougat roll that I ate years ago! Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that I haven't been able to find it since I was in highschool. :P

Pecans are very healthy even though they are high in calories. We had pecan trees in our yard when we lived in Texas. I still have pounds in the freezer. :-) I don't eat them as a snack because of the calories, but I love to crush two up and throw them into my morning oatmeal. The extra protein and healthy fat helps start the day off right (not to mention deliciously).

Brazil Nuts too. I grabbed 10 of them and munched them down before I realized that there goes 200 calories and 20 grams of fat. I could of had some cookies and would of been better off.

Oh, I know. Brazil nuts are my absolute favorite! I'm sure it's b/c they are so calorie dense, lol.

I actually keep a bag of raw pecans on my counter and put a few in my cereal or yogurt. I'm sure the holiday variety with sugar and spices are heavenly! I wouldnt have resisted either:)
