Best Nuts?

[skittles]

What are the best nuts to snack on? I like almonds & LOVE macadamia nuts. I know they are good for you, but VERY high in fat. How many Mac. nuts can I eat without going over board?

A bag of almonds/cashews/mac mix is:

1/3 cup:
fat = 24
Carbs = 8
Pro = 6

I think the Mac nuts are more fatting....anyone know?
