What's not healthy about it? whole grains and nuts? the 1/2 cup of honey spread over 5 cups of other ingredients?

I guess it all depends on your idea of "healthy"

Is it more "lose weight" healthy or "heart" healthy.

But... there are probably like 150 grams of fat on that recipe.

I mean, 1 cup of almonds/hazelnuts is 70 grams of fat.

Then, throw in sun flower seeds, and you're looking at a bunch more.

The whole thing is gonna have like 150-200 grams of fat. IMO, that is far from "healthy." Though it might not be as bad as bacon and eggs on your heart.

Yes, nuts are high in fat. Then there's the oil and all the sugar from the honey.

This is the kind of thing that makes me think not that it's all that healthy unless eaten in real limited quantities, but -- is it healthier than the crap it might be replacing? In which case, maybe it is.

I used to eat a lot more granola and snack bars too, until I realized that some of the oil was saturated, and it was actually pretty darn high calorie. I could tell, too, by how it would definitely add a little weight to me when I was eating it regularly.
