How to Incorporate Nuts into your Diet?

Discussion in 'Fitness, Health & Nutrition' started by KarmicJuub, Apr 1, 2014.

  1. Everyone tells me that nuts are a great way to add calories and extra "healthy fats" into my diet. 


    All the nuts I find in the supermarket are incredibly over-salted and have too much fat; (poly-saturated) at that.


    Can someone explain where I can find the "healthy" variation of all this Wal-Mart garbage?

    I may try Wegmen's but my options are limited.

    Perhaps I am just measuring my values wrong? 

    Thanks

    not true. depends on the soil (a lot). 
    how it was fertilized, etc.

    anyway wegman's definitely would have them, look for raw organic cashews... i think they have the most pleasant taste, but then again you might get a variety pack and pick out the ones you want. try raw first, i like them a whole lot better than roasted and definitely not salted. 
     
  6. Best bet is a health food store. Potentially a trader joes. In my town there is a specialty store that is all organic/non GMO it's pretty sweet .

    If you're going to eat nuts.. Look for raw nuts. Examples of healthy fats nuts include walnuts, pumpkin, macadamia. Macadamia have a very high oil content lots of healthy fats.

    Don't bother with peanuts or anything roasted.
     
  7. Buy the brownies with walnuts in em.

  8. Wegmans probably has unsalted nuts.

    I know Costco does. You can get raw unsalted walnuts, pecans, cashews, and peanuts there.
