I just eat the mixed nuts from Costco. Kinda salty but good. Otherwise, almonds are probably one of the best.

Also, when I get that jug home, I measure out 1/4 c. in baggies so I dont eat too much, roughly 14-16 g. of fats. Little bastards are addicting. ;)

when it comes to myself and calorie dense foods....its like they say at narcotics anonymous.."one is too many and a thousand is never enough!". ;D ;D

I usually just get the Almonds from Costco. I take about 1/4 cup to work every day.

although flavored almonds taste awesome...i really think that a good, fresh, raw almond is the best nut you can get. fucking delicious.

a close second is brazil nuts.

i like cashews too.
