Nutrition Tier Lists: Nuts

The next time you're digging through a bag of trail mix, maybe stop to think about what you might be missing when you only pick out the M&Ms. While nuts may not be the cornerstone of many peoples' diets - they may be the most nutrient dense collection of foods on the planet. Today we will be breaking down which ones can be your go to snack and which one's are best left in the bag, if any.

What I Would Change:
Macadamia Nuts are among the best plant sources of Omega 7 Fatty Acids, which are very beneficial and help explain the higher calories in Macadamia Nuts. With this in mind, I would move them up to the A-Tier.

All nutrient data is pulled from the USDA's National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.

I am currently loving the process of making these Nutrition Tier List Videos, but there's also so much more to cover beyond them in the realm of Exercise and Nutrition. If you have any other topics or questions that you think would make for a good video, let me know and I'll try to get to them at some point.

babe wake up new nutrition tier list just dropped

I don't understand why you are considering allergy frequency and calling it a serious downside when rating peanuts for example. People that are allergic should obviously never eat them in the first place, why should this influence their nutritional value for non allergic people?

Thanks to you, I've gained post nut clarity.

Currently full-time obsessed with your content and I don't know why. Just gives me a boost of freshness.

I’m straight up taking all star tier foods from the whole series and creating the most healthy dish ever

[ibrahimshebel]

A tier list on legumes (Black beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas etc.) would be great

[ninaroeilagan]

Walnuts, almond, pistachios, cashew amd peanuts are lists of my favorite nuts and Im glad I consume everyday.. never thought that there's a lot of health benefits it gives till I watched this video.

Please do a Nutrition tier list about sweeteners, including natural and artificial ones: here's a list to start you off: stevia, honey, white sugar, molasses, maple syrup, aspartame, sucralose, erythritol, lakanto (monkfruit), sugar in the raw, coconut sugar. I know there are a lot of other nutrition topics, but your tier lists are awesome and helpful!

Since you've done nuts, can you do seeds next, there seems to be a lotta different options, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds. Seeing a tier list for them all would be cool!

[persiancarpet]

Seems like getting a mix of nuts and switching it up from time to time is one of the best daily snack options out there

[HiddenEpidemic]

Really enjoying these tier list videos! As a suggestion, when you run out of food groups what if you were to focus on a particular micronutrient (say zinc as an example) and create a tier list of zinc sources, etc.

Shit I just ate a two lb bag of pistachios

[afinepointu]

The most informative and useful food video I've seen. I'm a pescetarian and regularly snack on walnuts, pecans and peanuts. Now I can add others to that group. Thanks.

[noidea]

Another great list! These are genuinely so useful, and the rankings are in depth but also fast and to the point. Maybe a seed list next? (sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds etc.)

Disappointed to not see DEEZNUTS on the S tier

It turns out magnesium is important for your heart as well. I recently spent some time in the ICU. I had a heart attack a few years back and open heart surgery so my doctor and cardiologist keep a close eye on this. I ended up feeling really poorly and eventually called an ambulance. When they showed up the ECG showed something so I was rushed to the hospital. At first they thought I was having some sort of heart issue. When the cardiac enzyme showed I wasn't, they checked my potassium. It was low and that can sometimes lead to an irregular heart beat. After giving me a lot of potassium through an IV they saw my potassium had not changed. So they checked my magnesium which is needed to process potassium. It was non existent. The lowest the doctor had seen. So over the next two days I stayed in the hospital with IV after IV of magnesium until my levels rose. It turns out that my acid reflux medication had blocked the absorption of magnesium leading to other health issues. I have discontinued the PPI I was taking and I am working on other types of treatment for my GERD. I really feel a lot better and still have issues with my magnesium levels but with increased levels in my diet and supplements things seem to be working out. Long story short, nutrition is everything and don't take it lightly. This is a good channel to help with decisions with your diet.

I would love to see an anti health tier list describing some of the worst common foods. Love the vids!

[TheTaternator]

I would really like to see a Junk food tier list that would be entertaining.
