SEEDS & NUTS

masonbason63 · Nov 27, 2014

I've heard so much mentioned about these so basically I have seeded bread occasionally and I do like salted peanuts but that's probably the wrong sought, what do people eat, seed & nut wise and where can I buy them from. I know this might sound strange but I haven't got a clue on this ?

I eat almonds and cashews. I get them at the food store.

Brill! me not thinking checked my Carbs and Cals book and just found a whole range of nuts and seeds, they seem to be low on carbs, but fairly high on calories which is a bit worrying as I'm looking for a change in snacks and don't really want to increase my waistline ;-)

Yup, they are very high in fat.

I get packs of mixed seeds and nuts plus unshelled peanuts (monkey nuts) and walnuts from my Co-op. The seeds are pumpkin and sunflower plus pine nuts. I think these are all good for me. The nuts are almond, cashew and hazel, which I think are all good, and brazil, which I've heard you can overdose on whatever it is brazils have got in them (technical term). Walnuts are good.
I roast all the seeds and nuts at 150 degC until they start to brown. I've heard a higher temperature is bad. They're nice and crisp if you keep them in an airtight container.
I shell the peanuts (bit of a chore) and roast them for a bit longer.
I feel they all provide good fat and make an excellent snack. I also put them in my magic porridge groats and anything else I fancy.
Not very scientific but I'm sure someone will put me right.
PS No, not salted peanuts or nuts treated or added to in any way.
PPS I eat a lot of fat (calories) and have just bought some 32" waist jeans -- the only pair of my trousers that stay up without a belt

I eat lots of fat as well and am losing weight. However, eating half a pound of nuts a day definitely slowed my weight loss.

Is it just a preference you roast them or does it change the carb/cal/fat values ?. I'm trying to stick to low carbs but finding it harder than I did earlier in the year.
