Should I have some almonds or a yoplait light yogurt?
I know almonds have a lot of fat but the yogurt has a lot of sugar and carbs.
Just curious which one is actually better for me? So clueless!

    The fat in nuts is good fat, so vs. the sugar in yogurt, I would say go for the nuts.

    nuts provide protein and healthy fat; but yogurt (NOT THE SUGAR-LADEN, MADE-SO-SWEET-TO-ACTUALLY-GET-SOMEONE-TO-THINK-IT'S-HEALTHY KIND) is also very good for you -- especially digestion. check the sugar content and ingredient list -- remember, the more ingredients in something, usually the worse it is for you.

    one thing you might try when you have this kind of question is find both in the database, add them to a meal on your food chart, and see which one is 1)better for you or 2) what you're lacking for the day.

    when in doubt, nuts are ALWAYS a good choice.

    also, remember that nuts are a source of the good fats -- the kind your body needs. refined sugar is NOT a nutritional necessity.
