Snack of choice

[Rocksteadyeddie]

Despite my better efforts I can't help myself being a bit of a snacker. During the day I am a bit of a fruit muncher - mainly apples and bananas - but in the evening I love peanuts. I ration myself to a (very) small bowl, but often go for another etc etc.

Come on then, do ya worst... how bad are peanuts for me?

Salted, dry roasted or plain?

Salted with extra salt.

Then you know the answer already.

Good work on the fruit, though. I drink fruit juice all day (30:70 with water), but peeling them is just too much hassle.

In my defence I have uber-low blood pressure and if I don't have extra salt with everything end up almost fainting everywhere like a proper girl.

Just be aware that 100g of peanuts is around 500kcals, which is 1/5 of your daily recommended amount. Very easy to rack up the calories when snacking on them.

In moderation, fine.

For bowl two, it might be worth trying to swap to raisins?

I bought some nice snacks from Aldi tother day. A combo of seeds/fruit. Not tried them yet but they look scrummy.

Try pumpkin and sunflower seeds instead.

Well... do you suffer from a peanut allergy?

Not in so far as I am aware.

On the wider point, I am conscious that they are pretty calorie, fat and salt laden. But (IIRC) it is largely unsturated fat.

The seeds idea is a good shout.

Iirc it's abit more than that, @ 700, and 50g fat. So even worse!

Enjoy

Don't worry. You've have known about it by now.

I do talk utter bks a lot of the time. I'd never thought of it as a peanut allergy but you might be onto something.

The more you're chewing peanuts, the less you can speak, so maybe the cure is in the cause.
