A High-Calorie Snack That’s OK for Your Waist

If you love nuts as much as a backyard squirrel does, but you're caught up by your calorie-counting conscience, relax. And read on...

Peanuts may be one high-calorie treat that doesn’t do serious damage to your weight or your waistline.

In a recent study where people were given a daily snack of peanuts, researchers were surprised to find that no one’s weight changed significantly after many weeks, despite the extra calories. Why? Seems peanuts fill you up (thanks to the fiber, protein, and healthy monounsaturated fats) but don't necessarily fatten you up, because the fat and calories in the nuts aren't completely absorbed by your gut. Now, if only Girl Scout cookies worked the same way.

More good news about peanuts: We may burn off the fats in them better than we burn off the fats in potato chips or cookies. Our bodies break down the monounsaturated fats in peanuts and convert them into energy more easily than saturated fats.

1. I wish I had some right now.

They're a staple during softball games. I mix them with raisins.
