Hi Chilton1:

The average weight of a peanut is ~1 gram. One seving size of honey roasted peanuts is 28 grams. At four peanuts, you ate ~4 grams. One serving contains 9 grams of carbs, 4 grams of fiber but 3 grams of sugar.

So you ate [4 g / (28 g / serving)] = 0.14 serving to two significant figures

So you ate [0.14 serving X ( 9 grams carbs / serving)] = 1.3 grams carbs
Using the same dimensional analysis for sugar yeilds 0.42 grams sugar
Using net carbs yeilds 0.7 grams carbs
The fat content of the peanuts are 12.0 g fat.

If you only ate 4 peanuts, your body never knew you ate the peanuts. It did nothing to your metabolism, but I'd recommend sticking to the Atkins plan. If you go out again, b.y.o. food or stick to the low carb stuff because you might derail your progress. You'll probably feel guilty then binge eat. It's similar to a recovering alcoholic who goes out and has 4 drinks one evening. Well, you know the snowball effect.


Cheers,
Norman
