Nut Breakdown

One of the easiest foods to snack on (in my opinion) is nuts — a great Super Bowl munchable.  Dieters tend to shy away from them because of their high fat content — but they have the the unsaturated heart-healthy fat that may help to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.  Just want to remind you that even though they are loaded with "good" fat, you still should limit yourself to a handful.

Check out how these crows eat their nuts ...

Okay, here's the Nut Break Down for a 1 oz serving of each nut (dry-roasted, no salt added), including calories, total fat, saturated fat (bad fat), and protein.

Almond (20-24 nuts):  161 cals, 14g fat, 1g sat fat, 6g protein
Brazil Nut (6-8 nuts):  183 cals, 19g fat, 4g sat fat, 4g protein
Cashew (16-18 nuts):  160 cals, 13g fat, 3g sat fat, 4g protein
Grape Nuts:  (just kidding)

 

Want to see the rest?  Then

Hazelnut (18-20 nuts):  180 cals, 17g fat, 1g sat fat, 4g protein
Macadamia (10-12 nuts):  201 cals, 21g fat, 3g sat fat, 2g protein
Peanut (28 nuts):  166 cals, 14g fat, 2g sat fat, 7g protein
Pecan (18-20 halves):  198 cals, 21g fat, 2g sat fat, 3g protein
Pine nut (150-157 nuts):  188 cals, 19g fat, 1g sat fat, 4g protein
Pistachio (45-47 nuts):  159 cals, 13g fat, 2g sat fat, 6g protein
Walnut (14 halves):  183 cals, 18g fat, 2g sat fat, 4g protein

 

So go ahead and enjoy a handful of nuts.  It's a great source of protein and healthy fats.
