Avoiding nuts as an option, please could u tell me:

2) are there any supplements i can take so i neednt worry
3) are these supplements high in calories ? :S (tiny bit of paranoia)
4) of any other ways i can keep my bones and joints supple, well oiled and happy!

You already said you are getting only 800 calories a day, in another thread. I really don't think the calorie count should be a concern for you given that you're already starving yourself.

Things like flax oil have lots of good qualities, but really, you can't get your nutritional requirements from only vegetables and some oil.

Why don't you want to eat nuts? Is it the fat content?

its the whole nutritional content apart from the protein that bothers me. it actually stems from my past days of binge eating, nuts, pasta, potatoes etc were the foods that made me unhappy-once id had one bite i had to have another and the cycle began making me very unhappy and keeping me very over weight. so whilst a small hand of nuts calorie wise doesnt bother me-its the fact i know i could eat the whole load in one sitting bcos im very "delicate" still with eating habits

all pure fats and oils have pretty much the same calorie content - 9 calories per gram of fat. this roughly works out to about 100 calories per tbsp of pure fat. whether you get that fat in the form of nuts or seeds or pure expeller-pressed oils, it's all the same.

800 calories a day will make you lose weight (mostly muscle mass and not fat), but the moment you stop starving yourself, you'll gain it all back, plus more, and very quickly. be smart about your weight loss. or better yet, just eat a healthy diet, get some exercise, and stop focusing on numbers so much.
