I snack on pistachios. I also carry almonds in my purse for when I'm hungry but not home. I don't worry about the fat or calories at this point. As long as you're not overeating them and are truly hungry when you do, in my opinion.

I think nuts are a healthy snack. I would just portion them out if you are worried about over eating them. Almonds and pistachios are my favorites.

Are nuts or seeds allowed by your nutritionist/doctor? Some recommend waiting for quite a while after surgery to make sure nothing gets stuck in the staple line.
