There is nothing wrong with fat in nuts. It's all good fat that your body can actually use to function off of.0

Sliced apples and Almond butter with Flaxseeds...Yummmy!:))):heart:0

Carrots and Celery and Hummus:)Yum0

Nuts are very good for you they are high in good fats and protein and they keep you full I follow a lean eating type diet which encourages nuts that arent covered in salts or sugars0

Yep
Or my fave tho the cals are a bit high
Almond butter...1tbsp....melt slightly.....dip banana in.....then drizzle with honey.....Paleo friendly and awesomely good0 -
I get almond butter and spread it over a Quaker plain rice cake.0

I eat almonds, grapes, applesauce, or an avocado for snacks. Avo's are high in calories, but a healthy fat, so I indulge when I feel I can.0

i love the carrots and hummus idea (Sabra hummus, yum!!)
Also, I treat myself to a Balance Bar about twice a week. Balance Bar is no good if you are doing low carb, but for us "balanced calories" folks, it's got nice protein and vitamins and is a little bit of a sweet treat, all for 200 calories (some of the flavors maybe 210?).0 -

Carrots and hummus are definitely one of my favs too! Also...I love plain rice cakes (for some reason) and they're only 30 calories each. 2 keep me full enough to pass a few hours. Especially with a banana.0

nuts are good for you, moderation. the others are right, the fats in nuts are the kind you want. moderation. I love to take blueberries and fat free cheese sticks! Any kind of dark berry. Also low fat natural peanut butter on 1/2 a granny smith apple. YUM! Fiber in the apple and protien in the pb to help you feel full longer.
Here's to you!0 -
I'm a big fan of almonds. But they can be expensive... my favorite snacks are yogurt, pretzels, and hard boiled-eggs. Bananas are a great hunger killer too I find.0

Fiber one bars are like low calorie desserts that fill me up for hours0
