Nuts and Seeds | New Forest PCN

Nuts & Seeds

Nuts are relatively low in carbs but you will see below that there is significant variation with some lower carb options and some best avoided. If you are trying to lose weight on a low carb diet and eating nuts then reducing the amount of these may help with weight loss. Alternatively if you are trying to maintain or even gain weight while eating low carb then increasing your intake of nuts may be something to consider.

Key points:

Avoid nuts which are "honey glazed" or "honey roasted" and avoid salted options
Cashew Nuts are the highest carb option and are best avoided
Be careful with your overall fat intake, limit portion sizes to around 30 grams for a snack
A low carb option from below sprinkled on natural yoghurt is a great way to start the day
