Re: Nuts for snack ...(protein)

Hi

Cashews are super high in calories. 1 cup of cashews is the same amount of

calories as eating 8 baked potatoes with salsa on top!!! Not a good choice for

a snack when there are much healthier options available. I was also told

nuts are bad because they get stuck. I am not supposed to eat them at all.

My DR told me to eat a handful of nuts whenever I eat a piece of

fruit. She said it helps to " offset " the natural sugar (??) so that's

what I do...! She says the best ones are pecans, walnuts and almonds,

but that a few of any kind will be ok... but watch out for the FAT!

I eat cashews and do well with them. I like them because i can chew them

slowly. and they fill that salty snakc taste i need. I cannot do peanut butter

at all. I figure the nuts are also good for fiber.

I have always measure out my snacks in a little bowl so I don't overeat.

I love nuts, but Kaiser Permanente So San Francisco has nuts on our

" bad/unhealthy foods/foods that can block the anastomosis " list in the info

book they

give their patients.

Every program is different! Anyone wondering if a certain food is okay

should ask staff from their individual program and then make their decision on

whether to eat it or not.

Anything can get stuck if not chewed well enough. My doc said nuts were okay

as a snack but to make sure they are chewed well. I eat almonds regularly

and they are healthy for you. I also eat peanuts and pecans.

I eat almonds and peanuts. I have found some really flavorful almonds like

Chile and Lime. Those are my favorite!
