    23 almonds in an ounce, keeps me feeling full for quite awhile, I think it's the healthy fat in them.

    How many nuts do you eat?
    People always say they keep you full but I am always hungry after a handful...

    I usually eat 14 almonds very slowly with water. It works!

    I have 12 or 24 with a whole or half piece of fruit depending on how many calories I have set aside.

    Almonds are great...usually 15 and if you do pistacios you can do 30 cause they're smaller. A very good snack indeed! :smile:

    is it possible that the nuts being high in calories put your daily calorie intake up a bit and that caused you to loose weight.
    or is it still the same amount of calories?

    Wonderful!!! Nuts are a great snack. The results far outweighs the fats that people think they have. They are GOOD fat!!!!! Almonds, and for a sweet little something, Emerald dark cocoa almonds are really yummy!!!! FYI, 24 almonds is 1 oz. or 1 serving.

    Be careful with those dark cocoa almonds if you don't like artificial sweeteners though. They contain sucralose (Splenda) and acesulfame potassium (Sweet One).

    I usually eat about 12 - 13 for half an ounce of almonds. You think you aren't getting too much, but after I walk away pouting and drink some water and get back to work I realize that I forgot I was hungry! = D It did work...just need to give it some time. If calories allow I sometimes have a whole ounce and feel so decadent!! = D

    The Emerald Cinnamon Roasted Almonds are really satisfying too! A change from the cocoa. I also heard the Wasabi Almonds by Emerald are really good but I have not tried them.

    Pistachios are 30 in a serving (which when combined with a serving of berries I find super satisfying. Plus u have to crack each one outta its little shell so it takes longer! Much harder to down a few at a time and not feel satisfied.
