It was almost 8 o'clock and I had only eaten 800 calories for the day and my fat was really low. I wanted to make a quick snack that was high in calories and fat (not the normal dieting logic!).
I sauteed a half cup of walnuts in a tablespoon of butter with a sprinkle of cinnamon and then stirred that into 2 tablespoons of almond butter. I didn't figure up the calorie content ahead of time and was kind of shocked that it was 700 calories! It put me right on for 1,600 for the day with the cup of almond milk I had as well, but I would have been happier around 1,200 or 1,300. Next time I'll go with a 1/4 cup of walnuts instead...
The taste wasn't fantastic, but it was good. It would have been a lot better with a tablespoon or two of honey, but I'm trying to limit sweeteners.
