Is trail mix good for weight loss?

Question

I'm trying to lose some weight and my gym trainer suggested adding more healthy snacks. I was thinking of making my own trail mix. Will it actually help with weight loss, or is it too high in calories?

When I consulted the clinical nutritionist at Hinduja Hospital, she told me that while nuts in trail mix have healthy fats, they are extremely high in calories. Eating too much of it can actually lead to weight gain instead of weight loss. Please consult a dietitian for your specific calorie budget.

Bhai, kaju badam thode se khao toh t ताकत milti hai aur bhookh kam lagti hai. Par agar dabba bhar ke roz khaoge toh vajan kam nahi hoga balki badh jayega. Bus thoda sa khao makhane ke sath toh fayda karega.

It can be good if you measure it. A tiny 30-gram serving of trail mix can easily be 150-180 calories, and it is very easy to mindless eat three times that amount. Use a kitchen scale to portion it out and track it in your fitness app.

A simple mix of roasted chana, almonds, and pumpkin seeds made at home is a great natural snack that keeps you full. However, if your weight gain is sudden and accompanied by heavy fatigue or swelling, please see a doctor to rule out thyroid or other issues.

In our days, we ate a handful of soaked almonds and walnuts in the morning, which kept us fit and active. Today's modern packet trail mixes are full of dried sweetened berries and chocolate, which are not good for weight loss. Stick to plain, simple nuts in small amounts.
