Patsy G,
Avocados have enzymes in them that help you digest their fat and they are so good for you. I eat nuts all the time, they provide fiber, protein and a small amount of carbs. Infact it seems like I lose, when I eat nuts. I don't know if it's the added calories or the fiber, that helps. You do know that you minus out the fiber from the carb count? Almonds are especially low in carb count once you minus out the fiber, only 1 carb per ounce, with 6 grams of protein. Well, anyway....everyone does this low carbing different. I read to keep your carb count anywhere between 30 and 50 carbs. So keep researching and experimenting...you'll figure out what works for you. Victoria
