Almonds

Can eating too many almonds be bad for your diet, since they are high in fat?

too much of anything.....It's good fat, though.....

Almonds are also high in Magnesium......so, yeah.

I am no expert, but I would say yes. They are high in fat and calories. Yes it is healthy fat, but everything I have read says not to eat more than 1oz of raw nuts everyday.

I would think so. But does anyone know how many almonds is in about one ounce? I've read that it's about 23 almonds, but then I read something else that said 6 almonds is one serving. I really hope it's 23 because otherwise I've been eating waaaay too many almonds everyday!

As long as they fit into your calorie goal, they are a great snack. I eat them every day at work, Monday through Friday (just look at my diary for the evidence!). I weigh out 1 serving on a scale at home, which is 30 grams and probably in the neighborhood of 20 almonds.

Anything in excess is bad for your diet - everything in moderation, remember? I would aim for a handful of almonds a day to reap the health benefits without it ruining your macro goals.
