Cashew Nuts (100 G) and Almonds (1 Almond)

Reduce the portion size, especially for cashews: try a small measured serving rather than eating from the bag.

Choose mostly almonds, walnuts, pecans, or macadamias and limit cashews, which tend to provide more digestible carbohydrate per serving.

Eat nuts alongside protein and fiber, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or a small serving of berries, instead of eating them alone.

Avoid sweetened, honey-roasted, chocolate-coated, or heavily flavored nut mixes, which can add fast-absorbing sugars and starches.

Have the nuts as part of a balanced meal rather than as a large standalone snack, and include non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, leafy greens, or bell peppers.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
