s are working to identify those foods that are satisfying and can help keep hunger at bay. Research on almonds is showing that this nut may be one of those satiating foods.

In a recent study, researchers worked with 20 overweight women having them eat two handfuls of almonds or about 300 calories worth. The researchers found that despite including this amount of almonds, the subjects’ weight or body mass index did not change. “We concluded that the women found their daily almond snack to be very filling, and so they naturally compensated in their caloric intake at other times of the day,” said the lead researcher, Richard Mattes, P.h.D, R.D. from Purdue University. “This work demonstrates that almonds are not only nutritious, they can be satisfying – a good choice in place of something less nutrient-rich and less filling, such as pretzels or chips.”

A one-ounce, 160-calorie handful of almonds is an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium, a good source of protein and fiber, and offers potassium, calcium, phosphorous, iron, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.
