are they good for you? i eat the shit out of sunflowerseeds because it helps me keep my mind off of food. but i want to know if they are good for you

they are high in fat, however it is good fat polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. but it is still fat you have to take that into account with your diet.....also depending on what kind you are eating they are VERY high in sodium...if you need to keep you mind off of food you should drink alot of water...Also if you are getting to the point where you are extremely hungry you are not eating frequently enough. For instance I eat 6 meals a day and when the time comes to eat i am usually starting to feel hungry. However somethimes I dont feel hungry at all but it is still important to stay on your schedule. Also this isnt the best for you but coffee in the morning helps with appetite suppressant. Or fat loss supps.

cool but would you say to stop eatting them

Don't stop eating them, just limit yourself to how much you eat. Depending on what type and the fat in it, 1 or 2 servings a day.

first off, pumpkin seeds kick ass.

and second off, doesn't eating too many seeds lead to gastrointestinal problems like kindey stones or something of that matter?

I've never heard that bro. I think I read somewhere that pumpkin seeds reduce the chance for kidney stones as well.

i make some good home made pumpkin seeds. I bake them till they are nice and crispy so you can eat them whole with out having to de-shell them......they are sooooooo good.

seeds of both types when u shell them with ur mouth..if u swallow some of the shells by accident can cause rips in ur esophagus and stomach liner
