You can eat the healthiest, most nutrient-dense foods in the world, but in the end... it all comes down to your daily calorie intake. Nuts are filled with healthy fats and micronutrients, but are also SUPER dense in calories. It's hard to feel full/satisfied after eating only a serving of nuts. I use a food scale to measure out high-fat foods like this because I like to be mindful of how much I am eating, especially when I'm dieting. Know your nutrition facts, count your calories... It's takes WORK, but you will notice a difference!
