hey guys just checking in. Just a question but does any one else here do yoga? I have been feeling like I'm getting too serious about this whole thing...if that's possible...I mean like obsessed and I've been acting weird...and weird for me is a bad thing (I wasn't exactly average in the first place). Has anyone one heard that nuts are bad for you becasue I need more protein because I don't eat meat, and my mom say I shouldn't eat them because they're too fatty...but seriously...how many people do you know who got fat eating nuts...

Reply from Rachael, Age 14 - 04/15/05 - IP#: 207.231.96.xxx YEs, nuts are high calorie\fat...BUT they are rich in GOOD fats...that still doesn't mean that you can go all out with them. 20 pecan halves=200 cal. 24 whole almonds=180 calories. See, they are a bit high in calories, but if you stick with the portion sizes you should be fine. Just incorporate them into your daily food quota, like putting them in a salad or having them as a snack or something. If you are looking to incorporate more protein into your diet, nuts are good, but so are beans and tofu(very bland, but they absorb the flavor of whatever you cook them in...you could even use the soft tofu in a shake with strawberries\bananas\ice and it's DELICIOUS!!). Somebody else said Soy shakes and that's a good idea, too. You could also try protein bars...look for them in your supermarket. Look for one with an acceptable amount of fiber and not too high in fat. Good luck!
Reply from Rachael, Age 14 - 04/15/05 - IP#: 207.231.96.xxx Yoga ROCKS!!!! Seriously, it's the best. I got a few poses off the web a couple years ago and I've loved it ever since. My fave poses are the Downward Dog and Forward Bend. I don't do it seriously...just a few poses every once in awhile but I want to do it more because I've heard it's great for ya. Don't feel weird about it, yoga is actually becoming a trend from what I heard.
Reply from Maggie, Age 15 - 04/15/05 - IP#: 68.113.191.xxx I heard nuts are really fattening, like 180 calories for just 4 almonds! (so ive heard) i believe it.
Reply from chelsea, Age 17 - 04/14/05 - IP#: 24.210.201.xxx Actually, just recently I read an article in the newspaper about peanuts and supposedly a handful of peanuts is around 200 calories. Although peanuts are high in calorie, they're exceptionally good for the human body because the trans fat is low. Who knows, I think peanuts are addictive.
Reply from helen, Age 15 - 04/14/05 - IP#: 68.154.34.xxx if you need protein i suggest soy protein shake mix..all you do is make a smoothie and put it in with it and its good to go...i dont know about the whole peanuts thing..my dad eats them and he has a big gut..but he also drinks beer so i dont know do some research i probably will now because im curious...
Reply from Kaitlyn, Age 15 - 04/14/05 - IP#: 216.74.216.xxx If you don't eat meat, then I think you should be able to eat nuts. They DO have a lot of fat in them though, so be careful of not eating too many!
