If I got my entire daily protein intake from peanuts I'd probably have eaten around 600 grams of fat. There's no way that can be good, even if they are 'good fats' right? certainly, but you could say the same about any nutrient or foodstuff eaten in massive excess of daily requirements - the keyword being 'excess'. i.e. apples are awesome nutritionally but eat 1000g of carbs from apples when you sit on your arse all day, and you'll get fat from them, but that doesn't mean apples are bad for you. | ||

stingy with his letters Member 496, 668 posts SQ 210, BP 190, DL 230630.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | i eat alot of pistachios and cashew nuts. Pistachios are ok but a pain in the arse de-shelling em, and a fortune if you buy em already de-shelled. Cashews are really high in calorie and protein but also fat, not that it bothers me | ||

Member 357, 21 posts SQ 215, BP 140, DL 232.5587.5 kgs @ 92kgs Eq | Sorry to spoil your party but the 25-26% protein by weight of peanuts proudly displayed on the labels is misleading. The protien content is correct but it is defficient in some essential amino acids which reduces the effective available protein for constructing human muscle. The Protein Digestibility Corrected Ammin Acid Score (PDCAAS) measurement method used worldwide to correctly assess a food protien is 52% for peanuts as opposed to 100% for eggs for example. Hence peanuts on thier own only have a bialogically balanced 13.5% of protien by weight. Eating them with grains (wholemeal bread) improves this considerably, but in isolation the story is not that good. | ||

That would be true and valid if you only ate peanuts and didnt alraedy have stomach full of nutrients. Your body doesnt use the protein from peanuts in isolation. Wash any meal down with a glass of milk for the win. | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22057 posts | Cuddles said: Wash any meal down with a glass of milk for the win. That's a handy tip, thanks. I might put that into practice. I'm not too hot on the diet side of things. People don't understand where my strength comes from when I live on stuff like tomato soup!! | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | To be fair, I was kind of being sarcastic, although I do wash every meal down with milk, mostly because I love milk. BUT if you are going to place importance on the amino acid profile of various proteins then milk will do the trick as a top up. Personally I just eat what I like. | ||
