Peanuts

Peanuts are high in fat and cals. Keep in mind that roughly 25-30 percent of you diet should be fat. Healthy fats, like the ones found in peanuts, alvacodo, and olive oils. To be honest peanut butter (natural kind) is where I hey a lot of my daily fat.

"Walnuts rank above peanuts,almonds,pecans, pistachios and other nuts," Joe Vinson of the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania said in a statement. "A handful of walnuts contains almost twice as much antioxidants as an equivalent amount of any other commonly consumed nut. But unfortunately,people don't eat a lot of them. This study suggests that consumers should eat more walnuts as part of a healthy diet."

I personally buy walnuts now knowing this. Cut up apple, Fage brand greek yogurt & some walnuts are one of my favorite snacks! The Fage brand yogurt has no flavor so I'll sprinkle a just a tiny amt of sugar for a little sweet boost.

I love walnuts! Almonds and pecans too! I was obsessing with peanuts but have a slight intolerance growing with them. Bad bad tummy aches and etc.

Portion control is def a must cause nuts are high in cals.

Saw a beauty/fitness model competitor who ate 1/4 cup walnuts for breakfast everyday.

great info! I eat a few walnuts along with brazils, almonds and macadamias daily, love walnuts so I think ill eat more of them

Peanuts are high in fat.. But the good kind of fat.. Mono and poly unsaturated fats are good for you. They can actually help you lose weight when eaten in moderation. Peanuts are ok, but better options are almonds and walnuts.

Then why does MFP tell them goal is 0??

because those fats dont have a hard limit, they are just counted in the total fat. saturated fat is the artery clogging fat. you can change the settings on the good fats to N/A here so they dont show up red.

I didn't actually know that, so thank you. I buy almonds all the time but maybe it's time to switch since I love walnuts too

I didn't know this either until I bought an apple & walnut snack from Mc Donalds and I feel in love! It prompted me to do some research. I had never eaten a walnut until that day & now thats my go to nut.

Antioxidants in walnuts were two to 15 times as potent as vitamin E -- renowned for its powerful antioxidant effects,which protect the body against damaging natural chemicals involved in causing disease,Vinson says.

The findings were presented at the 241st National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society in Anaheim,Calif.
