Somewhat recently, ...Another great question, David! Somewhat recently, our society moved to a "fat free" is better mind-set when really, unsaturated fats, like the ones found in almonds, are necessary for proper nutrition. Don't be afraid of the 16 grams of fat in almonds...fat doesn't make us fat, an excess of calories do. So sticking to a serving of almonds (28 nuts) is a good idea because they are calorie dense. I will blog sometime next week about fats...thanks for the idea! :)E.H.

But I read the label and it says 1 oz serving (about 28 nuts) has 170 calories and 16g of fat. EEK! The can says "smart eating" so I'm trying to understand how 16g of fat is smart. I think you have said almonds are "healthy fat" -- can you expound on that a little? They also have 3g of fiber and 6g of protein, which I know is very good. So let me know. I love almonds and of course I don't want to sit here and eat the entire can in one sitting, but just wanted to understand better about how 16g of fat can be good!

BUT they are pretty much void of nutritional value and are made up of mostly refined white flour and sugar...so not the best snack to keep you full for very long. There are, however, some whole grain animal crackers in the snack isle of whole foods...check it out...they will contain fiber and less sugar than the ordinary Nabisco-type cookies. <br /><br />Let me know what you try! :)E.H.

I have to tell you that I'm addicted to listening to you every morning on Calvary 88.5! It helps my day get started on the right foot. Question on the snacks -- what about animal crackers? Would those be a good snack or not? I've heard pros and cons to both, and I like them so just wondered what your thoughts were on that.
