Have a packet of raw, shelled almonds with the inner brown skin still on. Packet states 13.3 g per 100g. Recommended portion size 30g is listed as 4g. Hope this is usefulI’ve noticed that my best days are when I haven’t eaten nuts. I snack on Waitrose Almonds and pecans. Both packs are very low state 4.7 g carbs per 100g for almonds and I think3.8g for the pecans (that is the weight of the pack too). Just checked online and googled carbs of almonds and depending on how they are prepared it’s between 18-22g carbs for 100? I have a nagging doubt about the accuracy of the packaging. Anyone got any almonds to compare please? I thought 4.7 was too good to be true....
Comparable Aldi almonds claim only 9.1g carbs per 100g. There seems to be no consensus on the carb content of nuts.Have a packet of raw, shelled almonds with the inner brown skin still on. Packet states 13.3 g per 100g. Recommended portion size 30g is listed as 4g. Hope this is useful
Natural Days ground almonds claim only 7g carbs per 100g. Good news - but is it true??? Since the fibrous skins must be removed before processing, I would have thought they'd be higher carb than whole almonds in their skins.Comparable Aldi almonds claim only 9.1g carbs per 100g.

Like you, I used to eat the lower carb nuts (brazils, walnuts, almonds) fairly freely, but it was a mistake. Heaven knows what the truth about the carb content of nuts really is, but I have now accepted that I have to keep down to a maximum of 10g per nut type. The uncertainty has almost put me off eating nuts altogether, but I still feel I should eat a few for health, particularly a few brazils for the selenium content.I’ve noticed that my best days are when I haven’t eaten nuts.
perhaps the slight differences are from growing conditions or variety? Surely all almonds are not exactly the same?Comparable Aldi almonds claim only 9.1g carbs per 100g. There seems to be no consensus on the carb content of nuts.
And I thought I was bad with a 100g bag of salted macadamias with a movie!My Lidl does the Belbake brand of Hazenuts (5.0 g per 100 g carbs, 10.2 g Fibre), Almonds (5.4 g per 100 g, 11.2 g Fibre).
I have finished my omad meal and just stuffed around 300 g combined Almonds and Hazelnuts in the knowledge that I am now going to do a 5 mile walk with at least 100 push ups to cover this.
Nuts are a vice of mine, so 300 grams is good for me, as previously ahh hum, I would be doing over 500 grams...a day.
I use Asda long life unsweetened Almond drink its less than .5g of carbs per 200mlWhilst we're on the subject....I notice there are a lot of fans of almond milk on here. I've just realised that some brands have added maltodextrin, which apparently is a no-no for blood sugar spikes. For a small home-made cappuccino we use 100ml which is around 1.5g of carbs. My husband hasn't tested with this in isolation, so unsure if it has much impact. Anyone tried one brand with (Blue Diamond Barista Blend) vs one without (Alpro)?
I have had to bottom line buying/ eating nuts...I lose control. Once I give in to an episode of eating nuts...I will subsequently crave and crave and crave nuts until I give in and 'inhale' the contents of a 200g bag. Then the misery of self recrimination follows until I repeat the cycle again. Nah. I am staying well away from that kind of miseryMy Lidl does the Belbake brand of Hazenuts (5.0 g per 100 g carbs, 10.2 g Fibre), Almonds (5.4 g per 100 g, 11.2 g Fibre).
