so i get this question quite often do i look at

a nut as more of a protein or a fat well it’s a combination and i just want to

create a short video to explain a little bit more about that

we have pecans walnuts almonds macadamia nut

and pistachio if you look at the pecan and the relationship between fat 71

grams to 9 grams of protein you can see

that pecan is way more of a fat than a protein right

but it has some protein in it it actually has some carbs

as well but if we deduct the fiber we get four grams net carbs so that’s

pretty low but there is some so when you do a

ketogenic diet a lot of times you don’t look at the

carbs and nuts but sometimes they do add up especially if you’re going to consume

a lot of pistachios okay 20 grams so it’s good to sometimes calculate some

of these macros these macronutrients so pecan is pretty high in fat

it has some protein as well and it’s low in carb

let’s look at the walnut 52 grams of fat versus 12 grams of protein so

it’s more of a fat than a protein but it has both

pretty low on net carbs right plus walnuts have ala which is an

omega-3 fatty acid it’s a precursor it’s not the active

form but it can turn into the active form of epa and then dha

not that much but it does have some omega-3 now let’s go to the almond

we have 73 grams of fat okay that’s pretty high

with 29 grams of protein so definitely a lot higher

than these others so far with a 14 gram of net carb

the macadamia nut look at this look how much fat

102 grams versus the protein which is 11 grams

with a net carb of seven grams pretty low

so it’s a very high fat low carb some protein which these all fit into

the formula for a keto diet for sure but they have a combination of

fat and protein so far nuts are mostly fat if you look at the whole picture

okay then we have the pistachio 52 grams of fat versus

25 grams of protein so this right here has a good amount of

protein and it has less fat but look at the

carbs 20 grams so if you’re trying to lose weight and

you’re looking at all the different carbs

you may not want to go crazy on this but if you’re trying to gain weight

okay and you want to do keto this might be a good one

to focus on if you want to lose weight the macadamia nut would be really good

personally i like pecans and if you see what’s

unique about pecans it’s very low on carb

and a real good amount of fat and it’s also

some protein and it’s not very high in oxalates so it’s not going to put you at

risk for kidney stones this one right here is higher in oxlets

so if you’re prone to kidney stones you’d probably want to avoid

almonds all right so that’s my quick video thanks for watching
