Battle Nuts: Roasted vs. Raw

TheFinalThird

Have seen a lot of posts on here that raw nuts are healthier than roasted nuts. But I haven't seen any explanations why. I am thinking of increasing my fat macro a bit and want to do it primarily with nuts, avocados and fatty fish (not fried... just fatty). Your help for this guy who has lost 95 pounds in 6+ months and has 163 pounds to go will be gratefully appreciated.

I think people may prefer raw because they are trying to follow a raw diet. What is great about a raw diet, is it takes to a more clean diet that is vegan. I can appreciate a raw diet but I am not willing to do it 100%. I eat light salted almonds which are roasted as a snack a lot of days. They can help stop a craving or hunger to get you by until your next meal. I have used raw almonds to make a raw chocolate treat made with dates, agave syrup, cocoa powder and raw sunflower seeds. Very yummy.
