Thread: For you NUT eaters....

    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.

    Large Nuts: ( cashews, almonds ) Around 18 or 20 nuts
    Medium - Small nuts : ( Peanuts ) Around 28-33 nuts
