    Not a bad addiction. Weigh and log them first since the calories can add up.

    I quit nearly six months ago that's why I'm addicted to sunflower seeds now

    32g = 190 calories. It's not a lot of seeds to eat but it's a lot of salt.

    I love me some sunflower seeds, but I usually just eat them in a salad to get my fix.

    I use them to top cottage cheese as a post workout snack. Love the crunch they add and the combination keeps me full. I've been looking for low salt cottage cheese because the salt does add up.

    Sunflower seeds are healthy. Lots of awesome nutrients for the body.

    I had an overwhelming urge for a snack fix when I was inside the gas station today. I luckily settled for sunflower seeds (in shells) instead of chips or candy. Haven't had them in years but they really hit the spot, salty and a bag seems to last forever.

    I used to eat whole sunflower seeds as a kid. I learned how painful they are coming out after 2 days. I don't eat the whole ones because the sodium is too high for me. I do eat the shelled ones (no salt) in salads and yogurt.

    I'm a David chick. I have a bag next to me right now. :D

    I typically end up eating only half a serving because fat fills me up. It's one of my favorite foods for mindless snacking. I know I won't eat too large a portion, and they take a long time to eat.

    I can't buy them as I can't stop eating them once I've started LOL. I'll eat a whole bag in a day easily. So I just don't buy them anymore.
