A handful of nuts are one of the healthiest and most practical grab and go snacks. They can easily be preset to 100-calories that are snackable portions, thrown into a bag, stored in your desk at work, sneak into a cinema and eaten every time the Hangry Monster threatens to strike.
Unlike some non-so-nutrient crunchy snacks (we look at you, potato chips), nuts are rich in protein, fiber and healthy fats-and all help to maintain a sense of mettle or fullness. Nuts also have plenty of health benefits, including helping prevent obesity.
But don’t go nuts over nuts yet. All varieties of nuts are very much in calories, so it’s easy to accidentally overdo it on your crunchy afternoon snack. Plus, nuts are often toasted in oil or suffocated in salt or sugar, which can increase fat, calories and sodium in each serving and cancel the nutritional benefits they may have. Choose raw or dry risted, unsalted nuts as you try to take the healthiest snack choice.
To help you recognize what a healthy part of nuts looks and avoid consuming more calories than expected, we created this practical visual guide showing what 100 calories of different types of nuts look like.
