Iron supplement?
Hi guys, I started on a low-FODMAP diet to cope with my IBS symptoms and have seen a significant improvement in how I feel since I started, last week. However, with that also comes tiredness.

So many calories in nuts, how to incorporate?
Hi guys, I love nuts but had forgotten about them so I just bought unsalted walnuts, almonds and peanuts. I took a bag to work with me, with a total of 50 grams (30 gram walnuts, 15 gram almonds and 20 gram peanuts). Now, I think that was a bit too much, counting up to a whopping 425 calories.
