For you NUT eaters....

When you eat something like peanuts, almonds, walnuts, how in God's name do you measure the fat content? Normally, I would just grab a handfull and toss em back, but I'm thinking precontest.........

Read the label.

If you are a natural "nut"... and buy in bulk with no label, then try http://www.fitday.com or something similar.

understood....but let's say peanuts...I'm not going to crack the shells and weigh them each time....is there a rough estimate? 1 ounce = what 20-30?

Hey L. Priest what i do is that i weight my nuts 28g = 14g of fat if you want a rough measure it can be like
Large Nuts: ( cashews, almonds ) Around 18 or 20 nuts
Medium - Small nuts : ( Peanuts ) Around 28-33 nuts
