1. food calories are bullshit. (calorie isn't a calorie, it is what is in the calorie) 2. fat hatred is bullshit. (non-omega 6 fats are completely healthy) So what is there to hate? "Oh there might be stuff added!" And not with other foods and nuts? Don't buy shit food with lots of other stuff in them. For the record, Macadamias have the best fat ratio of all the nuts in terms of Omega 6 and Omega 3. Yes they are high fat, but that is a good thing. Of course don't eat them all the time, but the fact is that the nature of the nut is that it makes you feel full anyway.
This is misleading. It’s not about the calories. Just avoid processed foods and stick to wholesome, minimally processed food. That includes lots of nuts, so eat away! (in moderation, of course, as with all good things)
Macademias are one of those nuts lowest in oxalates compared to cashews and almonds, making them good for those who worry about kidney stones. I buy roasted macademia butter with no salt or butter.
old comment I know, but if you're paranoid about kidney stones, you can pretty much negate the effect of high oxalate foods by eating them together with a source of calcium. The calcium oxalate that would normally form in your kidneys will then precipitate in your stomach before the oxalate has a chance to be absorbed.
@@sgill4833 technically that is caused by an excess of calcium in the blood. You need vitamin d to get the calcium absorbed into your arteries and you need vitamin k2 to get that calcium from the blood into the bones. So actually, without vitamin k2, vitamin d can cause all that calcium in your blood to calcify so too much vitamin d and not enough vitamin k2 can actually be way more dangerous
They just shit this video out macadamia nuts saying that they are high in calories and that’s bad. But not all calories are equal. 200 calories of sugar is very bad and very fattening but 200 calories of unsaturated fat is fine and not fattening. So it better to not pay attention to the exact number of calories but rather where those calories are coming from. But eat in moderation.
@@trbwhocares8127 The medical profession loves sugar and refined foods full of dangerous chemicals because they get so much business and work that way.
I have my own tree. We call the nuts "Queensland Nuts" or if you live in a town or village near Bundaberg the nuts are described as the place from where they came. Forget Hawaiian nuts, we have them in Australia, but we don't market them as well as the Hawaiians. As for shelling them, you need a big hammer or a brick to break them open on a hard surface. Be careful not to whack to heavily or you'll squash the kernels (or maybe your fingers).
When I lived in Hawaii, we used to go to Aloha Stadium on the weekends to browse the open air market. I would always pick up a pound of two of Macadamia nuts and local coffee.
Nuts in general are high in calories and fat. Macadamia nuts are slightly higher by around 100 calories per cup, but pistachios are about 650 calories per cup
I'm not going to think once, twice or even three times before eating macadamia nuts! I don't care how fat they are, stop fat shaming! It's healthy fat! Just like Lizzo!
@@DeepSeas.. I have yet to see a single fatass that eats a healthy diet of 90%+ unprocessed foods. I eat lots of healthy high-fat foods every day such as wild-caught mackerel, avocado, nuts, raw cacao, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds and chia seeds. I have zero issues with weight. If weight gain and calories is a concern for you then it's almost guaranteed that you're eating a garbage diet full of processed garbage foods.
They are great for you. Consuming fat is important for your body in a lot of ways. This channel is garbage they clearly have no idea what they’re talking about when talking about nutrition
@@Swof99 absolutely agree! I eat quite a bit of macadamia nuts on a daily basis while on keto. I’m currently 180lbs @ 6% bf and my Lipids, A1C, C-Reactive Protein markers are all within normal range for once in my life! These nuts and macadamia oil are amazing!
When you live in Hawaii and macadamia nuts are popular, especially for gifting. ...But tbh, I didn't snack too much of them at once so I think I'm good.
I've always eaten bags of nuts, don't care about calories and always been thin, I only put on weight when I eat chips. When I eat bags of macadamia nuts I do feel a bit fatty but I can't help it, there are days I just binge on them and crave them.
macadamia nuts are superior to all other nuts in regards to its fatty acid profile. very little omega 6, so they are anti imflammatory. all other nuts ARE inflammatory.
As a trucker who is doing low-carb, I've been ultra-impressed with macadamias. I bought a little pouch of them, thinking I'd blitz them in a day. They were the only snack I ate ALL last week, and I still have 1/3rd of that pouch left. It only takes like 6 nuts to be full for hours. It's outrageous. Yesterday, a little handful easily took me from Boise to Pendleton with no hunger at all. I could annihilate 2 party-size bags of Cheetos in that distance and still feel hungry. Calories are not all built alike.
I love how much healthy fat macadamia nuts have , when you have low body fat , these are a life saver , I wish they were not so pricey per lb but yeah I never feel bad about their fat content . I often eat them in the morning and with dinner and before bed lol
Recommended daily intake numbers, brought to you by the same people that tell you to drink milk everyday and lot of grains. Because of the fat in Macadamia nuts they are satiating, that is why people should eat them. Eat real food and ignore the food pyramid. If it is still called the food pyramid?

They are extremely healthy. This video is complete bs. The fact that they are high-calorie is only a concern if you're obese and have a bad diet. The chocolate is probably not great for you though. Try to mix them with raw cacao, raisins, fruits or some other natural ingredients instead if you want a truly healthy snack :)
Grew up in south east Queensland and north east nsw where these nuts are native, so we grew up eating them as they are everywhere… used to sneak out of church and spend time cracking macadamias from the trees that grew near the church.

Don't worry about the healthy fats in macadamia nuts. And they contain almost zero salt/ sodium in their natural state. Keep eating nuts, they are extremely good for you. Worry about the rest of your diet instead ;)
The fat is the best part of macadamias, especially if you are on a very low carb diet because once you're in ketosis, that fat becomes your energy source... Counting calories is stupid.
Another nonsense video. Nut allergies are not unique to macadamia, and infact those who have it are a minority. Heck, macadamia isn't the most fatty-nut. This video could generically be used for any nut. it seems the creators want the nuts for themselves.

No danger. The price does not let you eat too much :)

They're really not all that expensive in terms of dollars per calorie. Which is what you should care about.
