A serving of walnuts - about 1/4 cup - offers the same calorie count. Also, avoid nuts that are laced with sugar or salt. These additives detract from the nutritional value. Sugar and other coatings add calories and fat, and too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure. Stick to nuts that are in their natural form. If you need some flavor, then try the low-sodium varieties or add your own spicy seasonings, like chili powder. One way to reduce calories is to slow down when you're eating nuts. Nuts in the shell make this easy because you have to work for the goodies inside by cracking shells open. You'll get satisfied faster when you eat more slowly, so give a shell and try some!
