Sunshine, the chestnuts in that recipe really increase the carb count. According to the USDA Nutrient database, chestnuts, depending on the type, have about 12-14 carbs per ounce with no fiber. That makes them about the highest carb content nut around. I found this quote that might be of interest to you. "In southern Europe in the Middle Ages, whole forest-dwelling communities which had scarce access to wheat flour relied on chestnuts as their main source of carbohydrates." I think you could use some walnuts or pecans instead of chestnuts in that recipe and make a nice low-carb side dish for the holidays.

Veggies - green beans for snack because hey, I love green beans! For dinner I'll have a nice zesty italian salad.

Fruit: banana's because they are a great source of potassium, I've been working out a lot and don't want leg cramps!
