Watch out for nuts!

Okay, so everyone knows you should read the labels on anything you are about to put into your body, but sometimes we don't because we think it should be healthy. I know I've read several places that almonds are a great snack. Lots of protein, crunchy and salty..etc. I've been eating an ounce of almonds every day, or just about every day. I decided to look at the bag yesterday, and I was so mad. That 1 oz of almonds has 15g of fat in them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 15 grams?!?!? Needless to say, I will be severely limiting my almond intake from now on.

So, watch out for nuts, because even though the fat is good fat, its still fat--and for some of us, that means it goes right to wherever we'd prefer it not go.
