What do y'all think?
Even some MDs touting the science as saying nuts as "not causing weight gain" have personal weight problems they are dealing with -- I know this for a fact.
It's misleading when someone says, adding nut calories won't make you gain weight. I don't believe they say that.
Ninety percent of the published studies on the matter suggest that nut consumption does not lead to weight gain.

We can nitpick on anything that someone says. When people speak they may not elaborate on everything, every time. When they say X is true, they may not say watch out for A, B and C or A,B and C is not true.

The way I read above is different than what you read. He didn't say adding nut calories doesn't lead to weight gain. "Add, additional are the qualifiers!

How close to calories utilized by the body is the reported amount in the data base? And do some foods vary in accessible calories vs. reported calories by a greater amount than others?
