Pecans and dieting...
According to some studies, eating nuts may enhance satiety and increase metabolism. As part of a low-fat diet, nuts, like pecans, can add flavor encouraging diet compliance.
Pecans are 73.41% fat, so they are a substantial source of energy. Twenty pecan halves provide about 100 calories filled with long lasting benefits, as compared to foods with the same caloric content and fewer or no health benefits.
