Because of this, they are energy-dense and so best eaten in moderation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chestnuts can be roasted on an open flame or in the oven. They can also be boiled, steamed, or microwaved. Hazelnuts can be eaten raw or roasted. They can also be used in baking recipes, as a topping for salads, or as a spread on toast or sandwiches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips for eating these nuts as part of a balanced diet that doesn&#8217;t result in weight gain:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_Adding_Salt_Or_Sugar\"><\/span><strong>Avoid Adding Salt Or Sugar<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chestnuts and hazelnuts are both high in fat, which means they may be easy to overindulge on. This is especially true if you&#8217;re eating them straight out of the bag or using them as a topping for sweet dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid this, try not to add salt or sugar when preparing these nuts. You may also want to use smaller quantities than you normally would (for example, only eat one handful at a time). This will help to cut down on calories without making you feel deprived of your favorite foods!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_Them_Alongside_Protein_And_Fiber-Rich_Foods\"><\/span><strong>Eat Them Alongside Protein And Fiber-Rich Foods<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both chestnuts and hazelnuts are high in fat, so it&#8217;s important to consider what you eat with them. For the best blood sugar balance, try eating nuts along with protein-rich foods like beans or lean meat. This will slow down how quickly your body absorbs the nutrients from both sources. Fiber-rich foods will do the same thing, as they help to regulate your digestive system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019ve mustered up the courage to crush your weight loss goal, let Betterme take the sting out of this demanding process. <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Chestnut_Vs_Hazelnut\">Our app will help you<\/a> restructure your habits, remold your life and crank up your fitness results!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_Them_Instead_Of_Processed_Snacks\"><\/span><strong>Eat Them Instead Of Processed Snacks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both chestnuts and hazelnuts can be a healthy and filling substitute for processed snacks.
