A member asked:

Yet another question about weight loss and toning up? are peanuts and almonds a good low carb snack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but calories: These are good low carbohydrate snacks, and are okay in moderation. Both have high fat content. Each almond has about ten calories.
