Nuts, are them good?

Dem squirrels love them nuts. I herd they real good.

For me, I exercise a ton. Therefore I'm not as worried about calories. I end up with plenty net cals left after my workouts. But yes, they are high in calories. But some, like peanuts are a good source of protein, which I need after a big workout. So when I make my protein shake every day, I add a couple tablespoons of peanut butter. Gotta rebuild those muscles.

If I wasn't an active person, I'd probably cut back our cut out nuts though.

but but... peanuts aren't nuts.

And cucumbers, squash, peas and beans aren't vegetables.

But now we're just spitting hares, aren't we?

Are we splitting hares or hairs...two very different mental images. Made me giggle.

I wrote 'spitting'... just for giggles. You know, like a rotisserie spit. Hence my super awesomely place winky face.

Well, that's what I get for learning to read in public school. (Or perhaps children distracting me every three seconds because they just got sent to bed plays a role here.) Hahaha, you're soooo punny!

/giggles @ spitting hares mmmm delicious hares

They are good, but in small amounts. They are heavily laden with fat. Though the oil and fats in nuts are the good kind, too much is always bad.
