Nuts?

[MiamiStyle245]

Are mixed nuts a bad idea as a snack while on a diet aimed at fat loss? I eat five small meals a day and only eat carbs in the first three meals which are at 8, 11, and 2. Sometimes I eat some mixed nuts as a snack in the early evening or late afternoon. Is this bad? Any help greatly appreciated.

That is fine, nuts contain a lot of EFA (essential fatty acids) which will help you on the road to fat-loss. Just remember that they are rich in calories, so watch the overall caloric intake and you'll be fine.

yes they are good

but take "natural" nuts

ie not those roasted in vegetable oil + salt
