I can't find pecans on the Sears database. I'm trying to find out whether they're an acceptable source of fat, and if so, how many equal one block. Does anyone know where I can find that information? Thanks. Andrea

When looking in my Zone Food Blocks book pecans are listed. Below is the servings sizes for 1 Fat block Pecans, shelled dried 0.2 oz serving dried, halves 0.04 cup serving dried, chopped 0.04 cup serving dry-roasted, salted 0.2 oz serving honey-roasted 0.2 oz serving oil-roasted, salted 0.1 oz serving

Four one hundredths of a cup?? Or .2 oz? Two tenths of an ounce? I don't have any idea how to measure that.

Not sure whether this is any help Pecan raw, 72 gms (2.5oz) total fat per 100gms ( 3.5oz) cheers Top

Dr. Sears said in one post that they are a very good source of mono-saturated fat. I buy fresh raw whole Pecan halves (Junior Mammoth size) in bulk (11 or more lbs at a time), then put them in the freezer (they will stay fresh for up to a year). It just so happens that for this size 1 Pecan half equals one gram of fat. 3 Pecan halves equals one fat block (3g). How convenient!
