Nuts add protein and healthful fats to your diet, but watch those calories!

Recent studies have shown that nuts can form a very healthful part of your diet, but they are high in calories and fat, so watch those portion sizes!

An ounce of almonds is about 18-23 nuts.

Unfortunately, most people measure nuts out by the handful and that can get you 50 or more at a time! That's probably more fat and calories than you were counting on.

For a fresh twist on salads, sprinkle a few slivered almonds or walnuts over the salad for crunch, taste, and texture.
