Eat unsalted nuts as a snack, on salads, or in main dishes.
Use nuts to replace meat or poultry, not in addition to these items. According to researchers, replacing one serving a day with nuts or a low-fat dairy can lower your risk of Type 2 diabetes.
At the Office: Because nuts keep you fuller than other snacks, store some in your desk for a mid-day snack.
At the Grocery Store: For the healthiest option, buy your nuts plain, with no sugar or salt added. You'll find them in the bulk section of your grocery store.
