Protein plus healthy fats?

[fitmomma3]

I have 15 almonds in meal 2 and I LOVE EM! Healthy fat... Also a good source of Vit E which is good for your skin :) (especially someone like me who has had babies :p)

[Bernie]

Thx Bernie...But why?

i dont know.....my friend was gracious enough to right me a meal plan on one condition....i follow it. i trust her, and dont ask questions.

oh well

[Ondrea]

fiber, calcium, folic acid, vit e, low carb, high protein, filling, healthy fats...and they are yummy which is a huge plus!

Raw almonds are a great monounsaturated fat source.

cuz I can't digest them LOL

I don't know what's up with that. Any other nut I can do, but not raw almonds.

I don't know what's up with that. Any other nut I can do, but not raw almonds.

Raw macadamias, walnuts, pecans and cashews will do - I like to mix it up a bit. But only in the beginning - nuts are too easy to cheat with!

Also because of the magnesium.

Healthy fats & I don't overeat them like I do with peanuts/PB.......

Yeah I like it too, especially since its NOT as tempting to overeat as the :pb:

Yes Almonds AND Pecans were in my diet. I'd put 'em in foil with a pat of butter (not that fake stuff) , sprinkle with Splenda and cinammon and toast in oven about 10 mins. Mmmmmm... Better, put the cinammon toasted nuts atop your salad.

Also a great source of Omega 6 fatty acid

Here is a cool breakdown of what's inside!
