Pistachios

[Kimberly_P]

Hi everyone, I have another question once again.... I bought some Pistachios and the first thing I did was check on here to see how many of them I can have which would equal 5 carbs. In the first thread is says I can have a half cup of them is that right because that seems like a lot but if that equals 5 carbs then that rox because I love them.

1 ounce of non salted dry roasted pistachios is 7.84 g carbs, 2.9g fiber = 4.94 net carbs.

1 quarter cup of non salted dry roasted pistachios is 8.5 g carbs, 3.2g fiber = 5.3 net carbs.

This is measured with the nuts in the shell.

Oops, I shelled them all and put them in a half cup so that means I had too many....

This is one quarter cup pistachios, without the shell
8.96g carbs 3.3g fiber = 5.66 net carbs
So you had twice that number in one half cup.

Dr Atkins put down 1 ounce of most nuts as being our 5 net carbs in my DANDR!! He listed them by how many nuts of the different varieties were allowed!

According to your signature, Kim you are still on the dairy rung

I forgot to put the image up for that rung but I'm thinking about dropping the nuts because I am gaining weight...
