Rhonda, I eat a few walnuts everyday - as good as they are for us, they are extremely high in calories. 1/2 cup of shelled walnuts is about 350 calories - one handful, I would say. Two handfuls would be 700 calories - a big chunk of the 1200 - 1500 I try to limit myself /day. Is there any walnut supplement out there, I wonder.

Maybe R.B. or Lani would know about this.

all the best
