   I personally eat about 25% of my daily 2500+ calories in a large variety of healthy no-oils-added nuts/seeds. They are nothing but pure goodness, low in sugar/net-carbs, and the type of natural sustenance food you should be consuming in the place of all those high sugar/net-carb foods that most people eat excessively instead in their diet.

   Dried fruit, like ALL high sugar/net-carb foods (natural or otherwise), needs to be serious moderated and restricted. I personally suggest you not consume more than 100g TOTAL of non-veggie sugar/net-carbs per day (and that should be spread out over the day and still be natural, nutrient-rich, fiber-rich whole foods…preferably gluten free as well).

   For reference, I am 46 years old, 6ft2in, 185 pounds, 9% body fat ratio, still look like I am in my mid-late 20′s, and have stellar scores on all my blood work and health exams. I attribute this to a lifelong practice of both exercise, and consuming a diet rich in veggies, natural fats (nuts, eggs, etc.), and protein, with very moderated/restricted non-veggie sugar/net-carb intake.

   3 nuts a day if you’re a girl and 5 nuts a day if you’re a guy. It’s better to eat fresh fruit, than dried fruit, but if you just like the taste, then keep it to a minimum of 2-handfuls a day.

   I could eat almonds, peanut and cashews daily! You should only have 1-2 servings a day though. Same with dried fruit, i don’t eat dried fruit it’s typically loaded with extra sugar. Fruit gets bitter when dried and they have to sweeten it.

   You can take all the nut varieties that you want just limit your whole nut consumption to 3 cups per day.
