This is my first off season ever that I’m not obsessed with staying lean. I eat perfectly clean but I have mixed nuts 2-3 times a day which is about 2 cups worth. The muscle gains are better but yes some body fat is accumulating.

Dude I fucking murder nuts of any kind and blow my fat/calorie intake. Dangerous when dieting hard!

Stand in front of cupboard shoving handfuls of deluxe mixed nuts in my face.

Cashews and pistachios are my favorite, and they go down REAL easy... I guess pecans too.

But I usually try to stick with walnuts and almonds.

Maybe I am wrong but Walnuts are so dam expensive- what $7 pr pound?

After reading a log on here I started having mixed nuts as well. Usually a handful before bed with some protein.

I prefer almonds and they are pretty well just as good for cholesterol and heart health? Blue Diamond sells almonds and fruit, one of w blueberries and one with tart cherries (look into these if you haven't)...

Both are very good obviously tho...

I eat a handful of mixed nuts everynight with my last meal. I get walnuts, almonds and cashews.

Good list. Right now I eat mixed nuts everyday. Pretty much all the main ones. So your list plus macadamias, pecans and brazil nuts. Most of the time I buy individual bags so I can have more of certain ones. Although there are some good mixed bags and the one I am having now contains hazelnuts but no macadamias. Not a bad thing as the nicest tasting nuts (macs are probably my fav) are hard to keep to a handful so this is were the likes of walnuts and almonds come in handy as they don't taste amazing. Although walnuts with some dark chocolate is a great combo.

My fav foods list for cholesterol includes mixed nuts, olive oil, macadamia oil, avocados, oily fish, berries, lentils, garlic, dark chocolate and dark greens.
