Are HAZELNUTS fattening and unhealthy, even though they are high in FIBER?

i eat hazelnuts alot and today i just checked the facts on them and this is what i found out

Hazelnut
High in dietary fiber, potassium, calcium, magnesium and vitamin E, hazelnuts are nutritious as well as tasty.

28 grams of chopped hazelnuts contains:
178 Calories, 4 grams protein, 17 grams fat, 5 grams carbohydrate, 2.7 grams dietary fiber

So are hazlenuts fattening though they are high in fiber??????

I eat alot of them prob like 3/4 cup a day ......is that bad????? should i not include it in my eating habits ... plz give me all ur opinions

Hazelnuts are one of my favorite nuts as well, so I was a little worried when I found out about their nutritional facts. Hazelnuts, like most nuts, tend to be more fattening and with more calories, but if you can believe this, they are the "good" fat kind. They are full of protein and other nutrients that are necessary for a healthy body. I would definitely include them in your diet, but do not go overboard. Try a nut mix that has hazelnuts in it for a little variety, or make measured portions in snack bags so that when you need your nuts you don't go crazy!

Nuts have the "good" kind of fat... however the proper serving size is 1/4 cup

And I believe you're only supposed to consume 2 servings of meat/protein a day. So you're probably overdoing it a bit
