Nuts for Snacks

[soundsgood]

Ive been cutting for a couple of weeks so far and my diet has been SUPER clean. The only thing Ive failed on is having a snack around 8:30-9:00. Ive been having a handful or two of Cashew nuts.

What is the makeup of Cashew nuts, and are they alright to have as an occasional snack? What would be the best alternative

They are super high in fat but little handful is probably all good once per day, your body probably needs it. Are you taking flaxseed oil / fish oils?

Yeah I thought they were pretty high in fat, but my fat intake at the moment is very very low so I thought it wouldnt be too bad.

I dont take fish or flaxseed oils. Is that for the Amino Acids? I take 4 capsules of Dymatize Amino acid 3 times a day.

Nar not aminos, good fats should be an essential part of your diet. You should be fine with a few cashews everyday.
