I stopped buying natty peanut butter, almonds, peanuts etc because its like crack to me

I finished one of those Mauna Loa tubes of macadamia nuts over the course of a day once. I felt so guilty I did like 2 hours of cardio. Sad thing is that probably didn't even burn all the calories

yea but almonds defy the laws of thermodynamics....sort of

The cell walls of almonds cannot be completely broken down through chewing and digestion in humans therefore not all the calories from fat can be absorbed
