Lower-carb approaches emphasise fats and protein over refined starch. Nuts fit naturally — but portion size still matters because calories add up.
1. Macadamias and cashews compared
Macadamias are often favoured for higher fat density. Cashews contain more carbohydrate per gram than macadamias, so some plans treat them differently.
2. Choose plain, not coated
Sugar-glazed or honey-roasted mixes undermine the point. Plain or lightly salted premium nuts keep the ingredient list honest.
