Nuts, seeds and olive oil are all extremely high in calories.

It is not intuitive, but a diet high in fat will make you less fat than a diet of sugar and carbs. The calories in nuts are not all absorbed.

Thus they are very filling if you eat a reasonable amount and not a can of them. I eat them at meal time and not as snacks, it’s easy to forget how many times you’ve grabbed a pinch of them if you “snack” on them throughout the day. Nuts are very nutritive as well, unlike pretty much any other snack heavy in sugar/fat
