That's alot of sugar. I would try to find some unsalted/natural ones. My favorites are pecans, cashews, and almonds.

I would say bad. Like the above posted stated Too much Sugar.

But this is alot better than other foods!

But If you still wanted to eat this I would recommend mixing in almond, walnuts, etc. to dilute the mixture reducing the amount of sugar you eat at one sitting.

yea it's bad man.

Just eat raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews) and you'll be much better.

Don't call it a bag of nuts when it's really more like a trail mix. It's a bit high in carbs for only 5g fiber. Personally, if you want to eat some sort of a trail mix, I would 100% make my own.

Try unsalted almonds/walnuts with unsweetened crasins or rasins (you seem to like them) and granola if you need that sticky sweetness. Instead of granola, I would use Kashi GoLean - much less guilt involved. Give it a try: Almonds/Walnuts + unsweetened dried fruit of your choice + decent cereal... it's a basic formula.

52g of Kashi GoLean will add another 13g protein to that snack, not to mention 10g of fiber and much less sugar. You can eat more, with less cals and better macros.

Are you bulking/cutting or just trying to maintain through the summer?

[andrewmul]

these roasted monkey nuts i have are pretty natural they come from the whole food section of tesco, meant ot be good for you. They still have their casings on them.

Im bulking at the min

[OneBetter]

you're serious, they're really called roasted monkey nuts??

Peanuts are also known as earthnuts, goobers, goober peas, pindas, jack nuts, pinders, manila nuts and monkey nuts (the last of these is often used to mean the entire pod, not just the seeds).

Hence, "still have their casings on them"

OP: If you're bulking at "20-28% bf" I would certainly watch my sugar intake, and in fact try to consume as little sugar as possible - certainly not in snacks. Peanuts are not bad, but almonds and walnuts are better IMHO.

[bradroche]

lol...the roasted monkey nuts, altho named horribly, are good for you, go ahead and eat them...just remember that nuts arent a complete protein so make sure to eat another source of protein with the nuts in the meal

yeh i know they are named horribly but i think they are good, in the casings still and look like normal monkey nuts ive bought since i was a kid.

Yeh my body fat is a little high but i reckon it is only around 20% if even, you can see my top two abs kinda.

Im just going to mix these nuts with almonds and some raisins, make it around 75g and have as a snack early in the morning or possible with some chicken
