Hello! This is my first post and was wondering if anyone else does this. Its the way I have always eaten peanuts but was wondering if it would be bad to do now that I am dieting. Peanuts are one way I have been getting a lot of my protein and fats in. Thanks!
Oh and a little about my weight loss so far I started at 335 and am now at 285 (as of four days ago).

    Congrats on the GREAT loss "so far!"

    I love eating peanuts with the shell! Not sure what the shell is made of,(probably all cellulose) but I'm guessing you'll get plenty of fiber!

    Here in China it's hard to find salty peanuts, so I always have some when we head to the ballpark back home!

    Ok, serious question. Do the shells come out undigested? Because if so...

    I won't eat peanuts without the shell. That's the only way I like them! But I don't know how that effects the nutrients though...Congrats on your loss so far!
