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.

yes i agree busy b. once i start eating them i cant stop...so i just keep them out of my diet completely. 

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!".

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

What about honey roasted peanuts? Man, those things have a death grip on me whenever they are in the house.

I eat almonds once a day and cashews about once a week, both unsalted.

Either almonds or brazil nuts.

I pack a bag of almonds with my lunch for snacks during the day.  It ends up being about a cup/day.

Almonds, Walnuts, and Cashews are good if you're not watching your carbs.

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.
