What's the big deal about nuts especially over bread?

Fat isn't bad.

My lunch today was a peanut butter & banana sandwich... so I think I covered nuts, carbs, protein, fat, fruit, etc. I'd add lettuce for a veggie but it doesn't really go with the overall flavor.

My grandma used to eat a peanut butter and lettuce sandwich for lunch ever day.

Yeah? Hmm... Really the possibilities for a "peanut butter and _____ " sandwich are endless. I don't know why anyone would prefer jelly over banana though... Jelly is so high in sugar with no real nutritional value it seems pointless to ever eat it unless you've run out of other things to put on toast.

Nuts also have healthy fats.

I don't go for nuts too often either.

fat is good for you. all the bull-cockey about low fat is non sense. if you eat a diet with a good amount of fat, it's much easier to control your hunger and resist cravings. bread is processed, nuts are not. yes, it's easy to go overboard on nuts, but just as easy to go overboard on bread.

But if you go over your calories by eating nuts and/or are still hungry are they worth it?

I've seen lots of people who eat lots of bread and they complain about hungry soon after as well... I think it all comes down to how your body processes certain foods, how fast your metabolism is, etc. As for me, nuts are my go-to snack because of the healthy fats, protein, and they do fill me up. Nut butters don't, but nuts themselves do.

I keep single serving packs of raw almonds in my desk at work to stave off those middle of the afternoon snack cravings. IMO they are a perfect snack.
