Is snacking on peanuts bad? I mean I know they are high fat but I mean basically are peanuts junk food?
In my head they are healthier than potato chips right?

I think unsalted peanuts are very healthy.
I eat these peanut and date energy bars every day it is delish.
Peanuts are not junk food.
Organic natural peanut butter is also very healthy.
You just can’t eat a lot of them in one sitting because they are high in calories.
They contain healthy fats and are a low carb food.
Everything in moderation is fine. Unless you want dramatic weight loss take a bite of a candy bar and then put it away for tomorrow instead of eating the whole candy bar.
Yes, moderation is key.
Ok the consensus is peanuts are healthy in moderation! This is good
It depends, if raw and unsalted they are high in calories but good fats. ‘Roasted’ (fried) i believe the fats are less healthy
A serving size is a quarter cup. If you stick to that, they’re very healthy.
Nuts have protein, too.
Nuts are good for you. Don’t worry about it. High in calories though so probably not great for losing weight if you’re trying to do that.
What do guys use in the UK? We use calories here. Imma try to look it up for Jim but I don’t know what y’all use.
I think everyone uses calories (kcal) but the SI unit is joules (kJ)
@anon94176359 it’s 166 kcal per ounce of dry roasted peanuts
Thanks for the information
I know they’re not junk food,
But they’re only a good snack if you have very little.
I bought a ton of almonds and have been snacking on them.
I’ve gained weight.
Are almonds junk food?
No.
We just have to be careful with how much we eat.
Nuts are good for you, they have healthy fats. Just don’t eat an insane amount of them every day, maybe a handful or two.
Thanks folks! Will enjoy my peanuts but will try to eat a healthy amount.
That’s a trick question. Salted peanuts, yes, unsalted peanuts, no.
I have a bag of these roasted unsalted peanuts on hand and will eat a few (maybe 10 - 20) as a snack.
Peanut unlike chips has lots of protein
