    Oooh, love cashews way too much to even have them in the house. I'm the person who picks out all the cashews from the mixed nut bowl at a party. Yuuuummmmm.....

    Ok... This might put you off...

    On the way back from France once I ate nothing but salted cashews, and probably about the quantity you want to eat. After all that oil it was like I'd taken Alli :ohwell: Is that a graphic enough warning? :laugh:

    Yet the mini bags I buy are 40g. :grumble:

    Yes! Those little suckers are addictive. The only thing that keeps me from eating them is they are so freaking expensive. Back in my younger days I would buy the 2 pound tub at the warehouse stores and just snack away. Love them, but my wallet doesn't.

    Good source of protein and healthy unsaturated fats though, so not all bad!

    Alcohol, pasta, cheese, sweets, chips, red meat ---- I can eat in moderation.
    Nuts are the one thing I had to give up.
    I can/did easily eat 2-3x the amount you want in one sitting.

    As much as I love Cashews, it never fails to amaze me at how small the REAL portion sizes actually are. :noway:

    I measure and weigh mine and put them in a baggie before I eat them or I would consume way to many. I find that if I eat them with an apple I am more satisfied.

    So true. I can go through a whole can without even skipping a beat.

    Amen!! There is a big stash of either Costco sized Almonds, Cashews, or Mixed Nuts at my office, and I would grab a handful at a time before I realized how many calories were actually in them. Portion control has ALWAYS been my weakness, particularly when it comes to things like these.....D'oh!

    My favourites are cashews, pistachios and macadamias. I could eat a pound of each.

    I haven't met a nut I don't like.

    Brazil nuts are my very favorite. Cashews and pistachios are tied for third. I LOVE LOVE LOVE macadamias.

    i get plain cashews, that way I am not tempted to eat more than an ounce. Btw, I eat cashews for the nutrition.

    Pistachios are way better.
