brazil nuts

Chewbacca.

Hello,
How many brazil nuts per day is allowed?
I heard too much of them is bad.
Is it ok to eat them for breakfast?

Totally depends on how many you want, and what you are prepared to skip in favour of the nuts. They are excellent nuts, and a great source of selenium, which Irish people are usually deficient in. Irish horses get selenium supplements because there isn't enough in the soil, but we never seem to think people might need extra too.

Yes, it's fine to eat them for breakfast.

As a rule of thumb, about 30g of nuts is around 180-200 calories.

I am thinking off swapping my slice of toast in the morning for brekky, for 4 brazil nuts with a tablespoon of honey :pac:

That would work. Would the honey not make them very messy?

Yes I dont eat a large breakfast, the minute I wake up, I would eat something small then an hour or two later I would have tea/coffee and biscuits or a scone.

I get what you mean about not wanting to eat first thing in the morning. If you're not trying to fill yourself up then that sounds grand, the honey will stop you feeling faint and dizzy from not eating for hours.
