cashews vs almonds? ?



Recommended Posts

I just looked up both on MFP... and my answer is they are both about the same. Almonds do have less carbs and more Protein, but have higher calories and fat... So it's whatever is more important to ya..ha!

Cashews 1 oz: Cal. 156, Carbs 9g, Fat 12g, Protein 5g

Almonds 1 oz: Cal 164, Carbs 6g, Fat 14g, Protein 6g

A few nights ago I made a really yummy almond/cashew butter (or cashew/almond butter for vegasneon, LOL)--I just dumped equal parts cashews and almonds into my Ninja blender. Less than 5 minutes later: pure nothing-added nut buttah! Yummmm.

When did everyone start eating nuts? I think I'm still too early.

I'm afraid to eat any nuts for a long time because I cant control myself with them very well at all. Unless I take a little amount to work with me so there is no more, I cant stay out of them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
