SUPER Protein!

I'll eat my sunflower seeds for protein, thank you very much.
Good man.

I just discovered how good they are. Haven't had them in a long time. Now my kids are eating them all the time too! Gotta watch it though, calories are high if you eat too many.
Really is you control the other fats..nuts are fantastic and a great fat..especially sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds and walnuts..walnuts are great for the omega-3..but they are higher acid on the ph list..
Most of my fat comes from nuts..I also use almond butter..all natural..instead of peanut butter..i don't do well with peanuts..almond butter..all natural..rocks!
I also get some fat from avacados..yes..they are high in fat..but again..if one isn't eating bad fats..it's all good..
I also cook a lot with pure organic all nutural 100% coconut oil..very good for us..yes..high in saturated fat..but the good kind..the body processes it differently than bad saturated fat..
Anyway..if you are eating right..nuts can be a fantastic add to the diet..a good fat..great source of protein and good nutrients..such as the magnesium in the pumpkin seeds..just be careful that they are all natural..and not to salted..
A lot of times I will make a breakfast cereal of different nuts..
