In fact IMHO, Macadamia nuts seems to be the perfect nut for us. It's only 5.7% net carbs by weight.

I'm glad you pointed this out Patrick - I hadn't thought of this. Just that I knew that walnuts and macadamia nuts were a bit "better" compared to other nuts/seeds in terms of their omega 3 content, relative to omega 6 content.

I'm glad I eat a fair amount of fish and fish oil. I don't get into trying to figure out ratios or percentages, but I do try to get a variety of things in my menus.
