Mixed Nuts (1 Cup) and Mixed Nuts (100 G)

Reduce the portion of mixed nuts to a small closed handful (about 20–30 g) and avoid eating directly from the bag.

Choose a mix with mostly almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamias, and Brazil nuts; limit or remove cashews, sweetened nuts, honey-roasted nuts, and nut mixes containing dried fruit.

Have nuts as part of a meal rather than as a standalone snack, especially if you notice a larger rise when eating them alone.

Pair the nuts with a protein-rich option such as plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, or tofu.

Add high-fiber, non-starchy foods alongside them, such as cucumber, celery, bell peppers, leafy salad, broccoli, or avocado.

Avoid combining mixed nuts with carbohydrate-dense foods or drinks at the same time, including fruit juice, sweetened coffee, crackers, granola, or dried fruit.
