I have 50g salted peanuts ever night ...carbs 7g. Sugar 2.2g. Fat total 26g.

The only way to know if cashews or peanuts affect you is to use your meter to test. Everyone's response will be different based on their own physiology.

Peanuts - roasted ones - are an excellent snack and lower blood glucose levels
I have them every day and they fill you up too

Gotta share this with you dedicated snackers.
Gently dry-fry a handful of sunflower seeds ( the grey shelled ones, not the stripy ones).
When they are toasted nicely, remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool for a short while.
Now sprinkle on some dark soy sauce and shake to mix. If the pan is hot this may bubble a bit. The flavour of the seeds is a bit like the twig-lets we get in the uk. Completely moreish!

When we go to Nandos for a treat I have chicken, halloumi and their peri-peri nuts instead of fries. Spicy mix of almonds, macadamias and cashews - gorgeous
