Sin or not: Too much nuts?

I kinda got tired of eating all the pistachio nuts so I decided to eat cashews. I know you're allowed to eat 30 pistachios however 15 cashews only. But because I find cashews much more satisfying, I kind of ate more than the allowed amount. how bad is it to eat 120g of cashew nuts in a day?

You should probably pre-bag the cashews that way once you eat a bag (15) you will know that that is all you are allowed for the day. Or you could eat a half portion of each that you way you have a full portion and more nuts then if you just ate cashews (15 pistachios and 7/8 cashews). That way you are eating 22/23 nuts instead of just 15.

Overall, I wouldn't suggest eating 2 full postions of cashews everyday. One day however probably didn't do much harm :)

Nuts are a healthy food, but they could cause a stall in your weight loss.

I also eat way to many nuts & have decided not to buy them anymore for that reason. I tried prebagging them but I always go back for more. I was also eating mixed nuts too!

I'm just going to have laughing cow cheese now or roll-ups.

Kelly when I want to be sure to lose, I don't buy them either!
