>mfw just ate ~900 calories worth of unsalted cashews
how are these things so high in calories? it doesn't even feel like I ate that much. I can easily tell when I eat a 900cal pizza or chinese or something cause I'm full after them, but the cashews didn't even remotely fill me up
nutritionists insist unsalted cashews are healthy and don't cause obesity etc, but 900 calories of anything can't be good
If you don't eat more calories than you burn then it doesn't really matter how many cashews you eat
fats are more calorie-dense than any other source of energy, and nuts are particularly laden with fats
Most nuts are around 50:50 fat and carbohydrates by weight. So look at a handful of nuts, and then imagine half a handful of pure lard. That's basically what you're eating.
if you eat enough cashews your shit will be oily and make your toilet look like a lava lamp

>nut fats equal to lard
Top kek, m8.
Nuts are extremely rich in unsaturated fats compared to saturated fats. Unsaturated fats can actually help lower cholesterol and increase brain stimulation/activity among other extremely good benefits.
Saturated fats are the bad fats found in vegetable oils, butters, milk, dairy, cheese etc. that can lead to heart problems and unhealthiness. Limit this to less than 10% of your daily caloric value. You can measure this by multiplying the amount of saturated fats you eat in grams by 9, then dividing that by the total calories you eat in a day. OP is probably fucked if he ate 900 calories worth, or not if he barely eats any carbs or proteins.

>tfw used to eat like 1200 calories worth of nuts daily when I was on a mad bulk
The best time of my life
It is a big lie that fatty food will fill you up. Quite the opposite, fatty food triggers a gorge impulse.
Stick with high carb, low fat foods like beans and potatoes and whole wheat bread. i'd stay away from pasta though.

Do the same comparison with your brain and it'd be more accurate.

Well for one thing nuts are difficult to digest. Almonds, for example, only have 85% of their total fat content available for metabolization.
Salt isn't that bad. Don't eat pure salt, but, like, if you're going to eat 900 calories of something you should at least have it taste good.

A hand full of nuts has a lot of empty space in it. A hand full of lard doesn't.
>tfw can't eat nuts because medical issues
i can also inhale huge quantities of nuts and still find myself desperate for more
maybe it has something to do with them being pretty solid compared to pizza or whatever, taking longer to digest which might make your body not get signals that you are brimming with calories as quickly or something
I ate a pound of pistachios the other day. It was fucking awesome.
