supplements:
Steer your shovelling towards some high-fat food that’ll give you potassium, fibre and protein. The nutritional stats are for 28gm, the amount you’ll get from maybe two finger-scoops you absent-mindedly take while watching television. A full-blown handful is about 57gm.


Peanuts

Calories: 165
Fat: 14gm
Fibre: 2gm
These are a great source of vitamin E and protein (7gm). Avoid the salted variety; 28gm contain 230 milligrams (mg) of sodium.

Cashews
Calories: 163
Fat: 13gm
Fibre: 1gm
Nutritionally similar to peanuts, with 9gm of carbohydrates and 160mg of potassium. Again, avoid the salted kind.

Pecans

Calories: 187
Fat: 18gm
Fibre: 3gm
Pecans are a low-nutrient, high-fat nut, so imagine what some pecan filled sweet-meat will do to you. Eat almonds instead.

Pistachios

Calories: 172
Fat: 15gm
Fibre: 3gm
28gm of pistachios will give you 3gm of fibre and more potassium (275mg) than a small orange. Start shelling, already.

Hazelnuts

Calories: 188
Fat: 19gm
Fibre: 2gm
The high-fat reading overwhelms the fibre and 7mg of vitamin E, but 28gm does contain 55mg of calcium.

Walnuts

Calories: 182
Fat: 18gm
Fibre: 1gm
You’ll pick up almost 2gm of omega-3 fatty acids that reduce the risk of heart disease. 28gm also has 4gm of protein and 142mg of potassium.

Almonds

Calories: 166
Fat: 15gm
Fibre: 4gm
57gm of almonds contains as much fibre as an apple, almost as much potassium as a banana (436gm), and 10mg of vitamin E.

Macadamia nuts

Calories: 200
Fat: 21gm
Fibre: 3gm
They contain very few nutrients (almost no vitamin E) and they’re loaded with fat, so avoid these.
