Nuts!

[everydayupsanddowns]

Haha! I’m glad it’s not just me that is fussy about peanuts. Pretty much KP or nothing as far as I am concerned.

The roasting oil in the others... or flavour of the spices (if dry roasted) and the texture of the nuts themselves just isnt the same with supermarket own brand ones!

One exception being Asda Habanero Chilli flavoured. Those are smashing!

Mixed nut selection I am much more feee and easy with 🙂

After more than 15 years of carb counting, you'd think I'd be used to it.
This morning I had fruit and nuts for breakfast. I diligently weighed a banana and an orange then took a handful of walnuts out of the bag. After I weighed out 20g, I still had some in my hand ... which I proceeded to eat.
I was grateful they are low carb because I don't know how many I ate - they were not include in today's carb count.

Regrettably, I have to report/confess that I’ve bought some more KP’s. Both the salt & vinegar (which I’ve never tried before) and the chilli. That’s it now! Yeah right.

Maybe try the Ryvitas with something not so dry like a tuna pate (tinned tuna mixed with a dolop mayo and lemon juice) or brie or philidelphia with cucumber. The reason I like them is because they are crunchy.

Ditto they satisfy my craving for crunchy food that isn’t crisps! I enjoy the dark rye variety

the nuts I eat are very bland. Because of the salt content I never eat any salted nuts, but I’m beginning to want them after reading this page.

Sorry about that A&B. I went to Sainsbury’s yesterday and didn’t buy any KPs. Next time I’m going to have a look at the salt content on the chilli v salted nuts or, better still, I’ll walk past them.

Lidl have a good range of good quality nuts but, as you point out, they are generally rather bland. The exception is Brazil nuts. I never feel the need to add seasoning. But the pecans, walnuts etc I often spray a bit of olive oil, sprinkle some peri peri seasoning, give them a good mix/shake and Bob’s your uncle.

I’ve put on a few pounds that I’m desperate to lose again. For the first time ever I’m trying meal replacement shakes three nights a week - as recommended by @ColinUK (thanks Colin).

Keep going Henry, I am really struggling and in my own case lockdown hasn’t helped. I’m not using it as an excuse, it’s just a fact.

Too true.

I have one portion of almonds every day, its my evening treat. I have them counted out into little zip lock bags, so I can just grab one. I do weigh out peanuts when I feel like a change.
