Tree nuts in general can be any LCer's worst enemy, but cashews are by far the worst. I find it best to just weigh out a serving into a bowl, and put the rest back.2

Oi, I hear you. Absolutely one of my favorite nuts. When I was on vacation in Virginia, I picked up a bag, and they were the saltiest cashews I'd ever eaten - which means they were utterly addicting. The bag lasted a few days, but I definitely ate them more than intended.
I can't keep more than 2 or 3 ounces of macadamia nuts in the house. I will eat them ALL.1 -
Yes like me yesterday, only I thought it smart to eat a bunch of chocolate too. I felt horrible this morning. Physically. Insane stomach cramps. All the more motivation to not stray from this WOE for me.0

I feel slightly better about it. Just admitted my cashew nom moment to the almighty food diary and as long as I stick to a zero to 5 carb limit for dinner my macros still look okay. Phew!
And yes they were super yummy salty... I think that's why I kept eating them.1 -
This was me with a slice of cheesecake yesterday
It was complimentary after a team lunch meeting at a Italian restaurant where i managed to eat low carb but the cheesecake was like kryponite to me. 0 -
Pecans is a good low carb option if you want something nutty

I love almonds and cashews. I don't even buy cashews anymore because they're evil! Ok, it's me, but I can't have them around.
I've found that pumpkin seeds take care of the crunchy salty needs I have sometimes without needing any effort to keep the volume down. They're good, but not so good that I just can't stop within a reasonable amount.1 -
Not allowed in the house

Planters offers a nut mix called "Nut-rition, Heart Healthy Mix." I don't know how heart healthy it is but it helps with my own nut nuttiness because it comes in individual packages: 1.5 ounces, net carbs 4gr, protein 9gr. There is, of course, nothing to keep me from tearing into another package (or 20) but at least I have to make a conscious decision to do so.
Perhaps Planters should come out with packaging that incorporates some sort of timed release mechanism, so that the box only opens at prescribed intervals. I'd pay for that.5 -

I do this too. LOL Often, I will sit down and portion out the entire bag into smaller bags that I can then just grab and go.0
