WALNUTS - 1/4 cup is 163 calories and 3.8g protein
Their superior antioxidant content means walnuts are useful in
the fight against cancer. They're also a good source of monounsaturated, heart-friendly fats, and studies show they help to
lower the bad form of cholesterol (LDL). In addition, they're
rich in omega-3, so they're a great alternative if you don't eat
oily fish.
