Some people are allergic to peanuts.  If you are not, they have a lot of Vitamin B and protein.\n\nI have discovered Larabars, which have simple ingredients, taste great, are satisfying and are affordable.\n\nI hike 3-10 miles five days a week, and in this cold weather the Larabar is a perfect workout food.

Nuts are a good fat source.  Your body needs some fat for proper development and function.  Try a nutrition search or USDA web site for proper percentage mix.  Tho fat intake in the USA is easy to find and is usually a problem of too much. Fast food and processed foods are lousy sources of the wrong types of fat.

Unsalted, dry roasted peanuts are best.\nPeanuts are high in protein and low in cholesterol.\n\nAlot of peanuts are cooked in oil and are loaded with salt...obviously both are bad, so look for the dry roasted ones.

Lots of peanut butter (healthy fat and protein) plus weight-bearing exercises.  This helped me gain muscle which is healthier and looks better than fat.  it takes serious consistence; when I stop working out and eat less peanut butter, I lose the weight rather quickly.

An apple contains about eighty calories and twenty grams of carbohydrate, plus a few grams of fiber if you don't peel it.  Plus Vitamin C and a handful of other nutrients.  So yes, they're a very healthy food.  Eat one with a little low-fat cheese or peanut butter and maybe a couple of whole-grain crackers and you've got an excellent snack or even a small meal.

I am a school lunch aide and must be very watchful of food allergins  \nTootsie rolls are non-peanut contact, but are a choking hazard for very young children.  You can make chocolate flavored treats with candy flavoring.\nhave your child tested every few years by the doctor, as some children out grow peanut allergies, I have one of my students who has.

Peanuts are beans but the nuts, seeds and beans are high in protein. The nuts and seeds are also high in fat bet that is the best thing about them. It is the healthy fat that helps you lose weight and lubricates your skin, brain and arteries preventing heart attacks and strokes.\n\nIn vitaminan/mineral charts under best source it usually mentions one or more of these. They are all fruit. Hard fruit but they are the reproductive part of the plant.

They are good protein and have little to no fat but very very high in cholesterol.  Yes they are good for you as long as you don't eat a bunch of fatty foods along with them.

you should only eat up to 2 tbsp's of peanut butter everyday--more and it'll be too much\n\nhowever, nuts like almonds, are high in protein, and high in unsaturated fats (the good kind), and keep you feeling full for longer periods of time--this would curb your appetite and would allow you not to overeat because you don't get that hungry when it comes to meal time \n\nso bringing a handful of almonds as a midafternoon or midmorning snack between meals is a great way to keep energized and full during the day\n\nthe unsaturated fats in the nuts boost HDL production--and decrease LDL production \nHigh density lipoproteins are good for you, and low density lipoproteins are bad since they can cause clogged arteries and heart problems\n\nnuts, when eaten excessively, can make you fat--because eating anything excessively can make you fat\nbut if you have a handful of nuts as a snack, and 1 tbsp of peanut butter--it'll keep your blood glucose intact for longer periods of time, be good for your heart and circulatory system, and keep you feelin full...all great benefits

This is especially important for children, vegetarians and people eating more meatless meals.\nPeanuts and peanut butter contain mostly beneficial monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These fats as compared to saturated fats have been shown to help lower blood cholesterol levels. Lowering your blood cholesterol level may reduce your risk of coronary heart disease.\nOne ounce, or one small handful of peanuts contains 2 grams of fiber. This is 9% of the fiber you need each day!\nOne ounce of peanuts provide 16% of your daily need of vitamin E. Vitamin E has been shown to act as an antioxidant which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.\nPeanuts are an important source of essential minerals such as magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Some of these "hard to find" minerals such as copper and magnesium may protect against coronary heart disease.\nB vitamins such as folate can help prevent birth defects.

Pretzels have refined flour and salt. If you need a crunch factor, try sliced cucumbers, carrots, or vegetable chips. Baked pita chips, Kashi TLC crackers, that type of thing.
