Nuts !

[BAtoo]

Thanks for your prompt response,I'm a thicko I know but I was under the impression that nuts weren't cooked, they were just taken out their shells and hey presto...so what's with the @ 5% veg oil ?

I expect the 5% oil is what's in the nuts themselves - although that seems a bit low to me.
But they are definitely not a low calorie snack...

As for feeling weak on the rides it may be that your diet is low in Carbohydrates and you haven't much glycogen stored in the muscles as a result.

Not that I'm a sports nutritionist.............

Just looked it up here http://foodscience.wikispaces.com/Nuts & nuts are 40-65% fat........

This all sounds nuts to me....I know I could not resist. I tend to snack on a mix of nuts, raisins and dried fruit, but I don't buy the premixed stuff, I make up my own portions. I have not had any problem with weight gain
