Workout Diary:
Nuts are a great source of protein*.

You need to follow a couple of rules to get the best benefits from the different varieties:
-Eat unsalted or roasted varieties.
-Don’t eat the honey-roasted, or sugar covered nuts. That sugar coating completely removes the healthy qualities of the nuts by adding sugar (which spikes insulin and add LOTS of calories).
-PORTION CONTROL! A handful of nuts doesn’t give you twice or three times as much protein…it also overloads your daily calorie totals. Try to stick to 12 or 20 roasted, no salt almonds, or 7 brazil nuts, or whole walnuts.
Nuts are portable and when chosen well, and are a great mid-morning or afternoon snack. Add to it a Laughing Cow cheese wedge or a small organic apple.
