For adults, a small handful of nuts is a separate guideline. Choose plain nuts without added salt or sugar.

General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

A small daily handful of nuts is recommended for adults.

This is additional to five portions of fruit and vegetables; it does not replace one of them.

Walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds and pistachios are examples.

Choose plain varieties without added salt or sugar rather than chocolate-coated versions.

You could add them to fromage blanc with pieces of fruit at breakfast.

To try this, identify a plain product and a time of day that suits you.
