Why not make a homemade trail mix that i can pre-measure and keep with me for snacking. So i did.. The recipe included

1 lb of pecan pieces(not halved or whole)
2 cups unsweetned cocoanut flakes
1 cup flaked blanched almond slices
And 1 cup of Krisda stevia sweetned chocolate chips

The total amount of the number of servings equals 40
A serving is measured out to be 52 grams
Roughly 3- level 1/8cup scoops. (Found this out by measuring and weighing)

The stats on my recipe = 146.6 calories and 1.6 Net Carbs per serving.

My question is this- I can easily eat 2 to 3 servings per day. Now hear me out..I am addicted to Maltitol based chocolate and I am attempting to become a recovering maltitol addict by subbing mu maltitol dark chocolate with my krisda stevia chocolate chips(its an accquired taste i noticed) But...even stevia sweetned choco chips eaten alone can contain 2carbs per tbsp..hence why i scatter them throughout my trail mix. Fool me into thinking im eating more of em when im not.

So i eat 2-3 servings of my trail mix...I am curious as to whether this can be a diet breaker though? What is your experience with consuming nuts on keto/low carb? Did it stall you from losing???
