Other Facts
Moderation
Though nuts contain many nutrients, minerals and heart healthy fats, they should not be abused. All nuts pack a very high calorie content, which is beneficial in producing the "full" feeling, though can spike your caloric intake if not monitored. As with all foods, they must be consumed in moderation and as part of a balanced diet. Many dietitians recommend around 50 g (about 2 oz.) of nuts of any variety (mixed) per day. Nuts have proven effective as diet aides as they reduce feelings of hunger for longer periods of time; that is of course nuts that are raw, unsalted or low in sodium and not coated in sugar.
