I replaced chicken with extra lean ground turkey and extra lean ground beef and it's been great so far
I didn't say that you should replace all other proteins in your diet with nuts. Add some to your daily diet. In addition to being high in protein, nuts are a good source of beneficial vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods with nuts and stick with raw nuts or dry roasted nuts.
