Sunflower Seeds
I have been eating a little more of these than I should. But I assume they are kinda in the same class as like almonds, or mixed nuts? Little help here.

Sunflower seeds pack a lot of nutrition into their tiny forms. They are good sources of oils, carbohydrates, protein, and more. Since they contain natural oils, their calorie and fat content can be high. Here is a quick breakdown of the nutrition facts for one cup of raw, unshelled sunflower seeds:
* Calories - 270
* Saturated Fat - 2 grams
* Unsaturated Fats - 19 grams
* Carbohydrates - 9.2 grams
* Fiber - 4 grams
* Protein - 9.6 gramsLast edited by tucker01; 01-11-2011 at 08:52 AM. Reason: link
