Suppose you had to have nuts in your diet. What is the healthiest nut in your opinion?
I want to keep my omega ratios as far to the 3 side as possible.
Macadamias are good for this but they were a bit too addictive.
Would walnut then be the best nut to eat? It has a ton of omega 6, and yes PUFA that everybody keeps saying is bad (though I think it would only be bad if rancid or heated) but it has a lot omega 3 ALA as well.
I definitely donât need any nuts in my diet, the less the better! (Except when I fancy some. Itâs not healthy to keep myself from some desired, tasty item that doesnât seem to cause any harm.) I choose whatever I fancy and have, price matters too though it was for the past when I actually ate a significant amount.
Oh my omega ratio and PUFA are surely bad, living on pork and not really eating fish but my body feels great when I go extreme low-carb so I donât worry about it 
My brain would have exploded if I worried too much about things (especially if I canât change it. I must live on pork and eggs and itâs actually pretty cool for me so okay).
I fear I didnât help any. Hopefully the others will have some information. When I ate 150g oily seeds a day out of necessity (I ate no meat, had to eat something else than eggs), I totally couldnât find proper infos about the dangers (I think they related to lectins? and numbers for certain nuts were all over the place), just everyone said it must be excessive. And some people said they eat more since ages and itâs fine. So I just ignored things and ate in a way that was convenient and enjoyable for me.
Too much worrying harms our mental health. Getting infos is fine but donât overdo it.
Decent chart at this link with various ratios. (In case youâre wondering (I was), pili nuts are 18:1, but arenât listed on the chart.)
I donât tolerate nuts anymore. Love em tho. I would have said Macadamia too, but have the same issue as you. Addictive.
@robintemplin, yea for me it was âwhat good is 6 frigginâ nutsâ to make 'the amt to eat ok and not push limits allowed? â LOL super addictive and then wrecked my guts! ugh
I want the whole damn bag or can or whatever 
I find something that has to be massively limited but OH SO darn enjoyed in taste to be one of THE worst issues in âany dietingâ we can do.
eat what you can eat in quantity and eat a ton of it and smileâŚdonât eat or fight over the 6 nuts in your food as some type of âI deserve thisâ when so much other foods can give you a ton, you get to eat so much and this little olâ nut becomes an obsessive down the rabbit hole big TEASE! I am same, all had to go point blank for me.
OPâTo me there is no good nut truly so I canât even recommend one to you as âwhat is best of bestâ. sorry, hope you find what works best for ya thru experimentation on it all!!
6 nuts sometimes sounds a bit excessive to me 
I am pretty good with 1-5g nowadays. As for a snack, I use more in dishes.
But I donât eat them for nutrients anymore soâŚ
I looked at the table of ratios⌠Yeah, of course I had to have an addiction to peanuts⌠Walnuts are my second favs and thatâs about it. (Pecans are even better but I only ate it once in my life as itâs rare and expensive. Walnuts are absolutely everywhere here, itâs a small wonder my property came without one! 
Now I have 2 babies. One almost had its first nut but lost it in a stormâŚ)
I wonder what the case with poppy seeds. Itâs not a nut (but peanuts are legumes too, not nuts or itâs no problem? the name doesnât matter as raspberries and strawberries arenât berries either. banana is and I never will stop finding it funnyâŚ) but if I think of walnuts, I typically think of them as they are often âsubstituteâ each other. Not really but we have plenty of traditional dishes where either can be used. It probably will be the very last oily seed I give up for good (if ever). It was a significant calcium source for me in the past.
