Will eating sunflower seeds make me gain weight?

Question

Lately I have had this thing for sunflower seeds. I eat at least one of those little individual bags a day. Will that cause me to gain weight?

Answer 1

One little bag of Sunflower seeds a day would have pretty much NO- impact on the amount of fats a healthy person accumulates.

These seeds are high in B Vitamins & Vitamin E which are great for muscles, nerves & blood vessels.

They are rich in Linoleic Acid which is essential for the maintenance & repair of cell membranes.

Sunflower seeds naturally lower cholesterol deposits, help reduce high blood pressure & prevent heart failure.

As long as they are without any added salt, oil or seasoning they are an extremely healthy snack.

So don't feel guilty about that one bag your having each day; just enjoy them =)

Answer 2

sunflower seeds are actually an okay source for healthy fats which in turn can help your body to burn unhealthy fat. The only down side with eating too many sunflower seeds is the amount of salt you are taking in. Salt leads to water weight.

half a cup of sunflower seeds (100 grams) has as many calories as 100 grams, or the average slice, of chocolate cake.
