    Peanuts?

    Dry roasted peanuts have about 300 calories in them, but also fats, im wondering if these are good for my bulking cycle?

    Thanks

    They are great bulking or cutting.

    As long as they fit into your daily macros.

    LMAO! Yeah I love my idea of a tablespoon when im scooping it out of the jar. Basically anything that sticks to the tablespoon and that I can get from the jar to my mouth without it falling off...thats one TBSP, lol.

    I would say almonds are a better all around choice. Peanuts, although small, cause blood sugar to elevate. Most nutritional experts or textbooks will give nuts a GI of 0. Peanuts are always given a GI in the 10-20 range. Like I said its small/low but I would still rather have the almonds.

    Seconded.

    Almonds will keep you alkaline, also.
