It's 3 o'clock and your lunch is wearing thin, but
there's still hours before dinner will be ready. With your energy waning
and focus floundering, you need a power-packed snack to get you through the
workday. Nuts are the perfect solution, full of nutrients and packed with
protein and good fat. With so many varieties, choosing the nut that’s right for
you can be confusing. Bon'App is here to help you understand how some of your
favorite nuts compare. No matter which you choose, remember to avoid
salted or chocolate covered (unless these are your dessert of course!), and stick
to eating a one-ounce serving because the calories in nuts can quickly add up.
Walnuts
A 1-ounce serving of walnuts is equal to about a
handful. In one serving, there are 185 calories and 4 grams of protein.
Walnuts are a great choice because, among all nuts, they are richest in
omega-3 fatty acids. These nuts are an easy way to get heart-healthy fats
in your diet.
Even though ‘nuts’ is in their name, peanuts are
actually legumes! The thought of peanuts may conjure up images of baseball
games or chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, but a handful of shelled,
unsalted peanuts make a good snack option. One serving contains 161 calories
and 7 grams of protein.
Go ahead, have a handful of nuts to stave off your afternoon
hunger. Nuts, in general, are calorically
dense, but the healthy fat and nutrient content redeems their nutritional
reputation. Try all the varieties, and then
decide which is your favorite.
