Hello all, have been trying to read in to this but it seems people use different nuts. I am using nuts currently for part of a mid morning snacl along with a protein shake. But on a cycle what are the best nuts and how much should you use?

For example the walnuts in front of me - 100g bag gives me
689 kcal
14.7g Protein
3.3g Carbs
2.6g of which sugars - rest is starch
68.5g of Fat
5.6g Saturates
12.4g mono-unsaturates
47.5g polyunsaturates
Fibre 3.5g

Would these be good? Or mixed nuts? Or what would be good with what amounts please.

Thanks

I must admit I did think the fat was a high amount in the walnuts!

How many should you be taking at a mid morning snack - cashews or almonds say - is 100g enough?

Ollie B

i only take a handful of almonds with every meal.

walnuts are th ebest tho! :(

just grab a bag of mixed nuts from H&B or something best of everything!!

i have about an 1 oz for both cashews and almonds...im dieting so cant have too many... but id say about 2-3 oz should be enough... that would probably give you about 300 cals or so...

I have 25g of almonds and a boiled egg as a mid morning snack about 10.30 and the same again about 3.30pm.

Im dieting though I'd probably have 50g at each sitting otherwise

I've seen people advocate diets of high fats + protein with low carbs.

nothing wrong with taking nuts on a bulk - contains proteins and omega fats.

the wheel nuts are essential for forward motion:biggrin:
