    While I do enjoy lots of different nuts (huh, huh), I find that when I have 1 serving as a snack I am very unsatisfied and still hungry. 25 almonds don't go very far for 190 cals. But, I still find a way to fit them in here and there because I like almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts.

    I love 'em and find that a little goes a long way - which is good, since they're so calorie-dense.

    At any given time we have a huge selection at home. Usually unsalted peanuts and almonds, cocoa almonds, cashews, pecan pieces, English walnuts and black walnuts. We use them in stir fry, tuna salad (chopped), salads, steel cut oats, refrigerator oats/yogurt, or small portions for a snack.

    I love almonds, cashews and peanuts. Also pine nuts. I like to blanch my almonds (Soak them in water and remove the peel which is slightly toxic) and then crunch away!

    Nuts or sunflower seeds are my go-to if I'm short on either fat or protein. They ALWAYS go on the scale for an accurate reading, though.

    I have loads of nuts to snack on - usually to stop me reaching for the chocolate or biscuits

    I like the flavoured one esp wasabi

    I do vary the nuts
    I believe....
    walnuts are quite good for people with high cholestrol
    cashews great if you are feeling tired as they have a fair bit of iron
    Pecans (yum) are high in zinc
    pistachios - high in potassium - often have them after strength training
    almonds - high in calcium and magnesium
    so try to vary them to get the maximum health benefits as well as the fact they are all yummy.

    I buy big Jars or Unslated Raw Almonds and Pistachios at Target. I also like the plantes men's health mix. I just got this crazy Idea while typing this response make your own mens health mix. Buy the nuts and mix yourself. Im sure you'll get more bang for your buck. Keep one at work and one at home. Also keep snack size zip locs with you for on the go. Good Luck!

    Nuts are my super secret diet food. They're basically a tasty delivery mechanism of healthy fats. I just feel better when I have a relatively high portion of fats in my diet; I'm less hungry and feel mentally sharper.

    I keep bag of the following nearby at all times: almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios, cocoa nibs.

    Trail mix is just M&M's with obstacles.

    I eat peanuts and almonds... but only if they are inside M&M's

    Pine nuts, I like that you can push your calories up with a relatively small amount, I have about 10g of pine nuts before exercising for the energy.

    Yes! I haven't found one I don't love... except maybe Brazil nuts.
    My favorite are pecans, pistachios and sunflowers. Mind you, the amount I can eat in one sitting is practically miniscule but totally worth it! :noway:
