This is from the SBD food list and I don't see chestnuts on it ....but if you want to eat them I suggest you weigh out 1 oz as a serving. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...9&page=41&pp=15 this link will take you to page 41 of the South Beach Babes thread where all the food lists anbd meal plan charts are there for your use...print them up for reference. :idea: Quote:

One ounce is the usual serving size for nuts, so.... yes :) |
A little late to the party here, but I think it's important to note that chestnuts are not really a nut in any shape or form. The fat content is extremely low, and it's almost all starch. The fruit of the chestnut is more or less a sugary potato.
If you are following a strict low carbohydrate regimen, then you should absolutely abstain from chestnuts. You should consider it more in the realm of a paleo "safe starch" in the vein on sweet potatoes and plantains, i.e. something that is ok in moderation if you don't really have weight left to lose, or to support significant physical activity. |
