Nutrition Pistachio Nuts

Are Kirkland Signature Dry Roasted Almonds (+Raisins, Pistachios, and Craisins) healthy?
I’ve never tried them before, and I just had about 6-8 of these an hour ago. I think they taste pretty good, but I looked at the nutrition label, and I’m not too sure about it.

It has 170 calories, which is pretty okay, since it’s coming from nuts.
I’m concerned about the 15 grams of fat, however.
Aren’t fats from nuts healthy for you, and won’t make you gain as much wait as eating fats from something else?
So is it healthy? I wouldn’t have a weight change if I ate these as a snack everyday, would I?
Thank you.
Almonds are very good for you, partly *because* they’re high in fat! They’re high in monounsaturated fat, which has been shown consistently to be associated with lower levels of heart disease and cancer.
A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. Whether your calories are coming from almonds, M&M’s, or spinach, if you’re taking in more than you’re burning, you’ll gain weight. As long as you’re watching calories, then almonds are a great snack. You can’t eat buckets of them though and expect to lose weight.
