What changes the number
Almonds are genuinely good for you and genuinely easy to overeat — at 579 kcal per 100 g, a casual handful while watching something is 120 kcal and a katori is close to 290. The soaked-almonds-every-morning habit is fine at 5 to 10; the problem is the open bowl. Protein, fibre, vitamin E and a meaningful amount of calcium make them a far better snack than namkeen at the same calorie count. Measure them out once and you will not need to again.
