2. Macadamia Nuts—High-Maintenance Munchies

These are rich and buttery nuts. Even if they are delicious, they are insanely calorie-dense. They are about 200 calories per small handful, and even if they contain healthy fats, they can sneak into “overdo” territory quickly. The’y’re mostly imported from faraway places such as Australia or Hawaii, meaning a bigger carbon footprint.

You can go for a couple here and there, but maybe not your everyday go-to.
