I'm not arguing here, just asking a serious question because a lot of people seem in favor of snacking on nuts. I know it's the "good" type of fat, but most nuts just have so much fat, I don't see how this could be healthy. I think snacking on a couple small handfuls of nuts can be a good snack, but this calls for multiple cups.

Edit: How many servings does that recipe yield?

I was just about to comment on this somewhere else.

Granola and nuts are misconceived as 'healthy'.

They are great for someone who is at a healthy weight, and one of the best ways to get your daily fat requirements.

But... if someone is looking to lose weight, eating nuts is very bad. They are fat bombs. Especially considering they do little to fill you up.

I found that too. I could eat a good amount of granola or nut mixes, but not feel all that satisfied. I would fairly quickly be pretty hungry later. That's a lot of fat intake to still not be satisfied. Kind of a raw deal.
