Identifying Usual Food Choice Combinations With Walnuts: Analysis of a 2005-2015 Clinical Trial Cohort of Overweight and Obese Adults.

ABSTRACT: Consumption of nuts has been associated with a range of favorable health outcomes. Evidence is now emerging to suggest that walnuts may also play an important role in supporting the consumption of a healthy dietary pattern. However, limited studies have explored how walnuts are eaten at different meal occasions.
