Do you count the carbs that almonds have? I never have but not sure. Always just counted 1 almond as a half a gram of fat.

I wouldn`t bother...............some people count the protein in oatmeal and other foods like bread or cereal etc., but I don`t. Don`t think it`s that big of a deal really. Just my opinion on it. |

Hoops I do not count them. I only count the fats in almonds toward my macro totals, just as I don't count the proteins in almonds or brown rice, etc... In Carb foods I count ONLYL the carbs. In protein foods I count only the protein. In Fat foods (almonds, cashews, flax, etc..) I count only the fat. Now, when I'm contest dieting I always choose the lowest fat carb/protein sources to decrease calories and still get my macros.

Hoops............I think he means that instead of eating steak,which is calorie dense due to it`s fat content,he eats eggwhites,fish or chicken breasts instead,as they have less fat which equals less calories,etc.

EXACTLY! Tim hit the nail on the head. For instance, I sub 99% lean turkey for 93% and I sup 96% lean beef for all my other beef meals and I use only skinless fat trimmed chicken breast. I don't use marinades w/ calories or sugar. I eat ONLY brown rice, oatmeal, and yams for carbs. I do not use egg yolks. Etc... BTW, Tim, I think 2 real smart guys taught me how to eat. Forget their names, but they both have killer boards  |
