sunflower seeds

[kaleighellas]

are sunflower seeds fattening

[stylinsam]

no not at all they are pretty good for you depending on how many you eat?

[redmug100]

Yes. Everything (apart from celery) is fattening depending on how much you eat. Most seeds have a high fat content.

[TopCat1]

no they are not, infact a lot of healthy eating diets recommend snacking on these in between meals. They are very good for you also and are full of zinc, which helps with nail and hair growth, sexual appetite, energy etc etc.

Definately recommended.

as stylinsam said, they have to be eaten in moderation else they are not quickly eliminated from the system...my aunt has just had an operation cancelled owing to build-up of seeds in the bowel (different types of seed). A small amount is fine though. Some kinds of vitamin pill or capsule can cause the same problem.

redmug is correct.

[crosso]

all the answers are correct in different ways!
