hi, i really enjoy eating mixed nuts at the moment, and i'm intrigued to know the nutirtional breakdown of each different type of nut

also which nuts are the best for EFA's? and which for protein? are some nuts favourable over others in a micronutrient sense?

nuts are fine in moderation just dont go overboard.. i have a handful of them daily to get adequate fat in my diet.

Walnuts, almonds, peanuts(technically not a nut) tend to be better.

(personally I'd put walnuts ahead of almonds only because they're higher in monos than polys)
