I did this when I was a poor college student and we had a lot of pecan trees on campus. I always had a pocket full of tasty free pecans to hold me over until payday.

You... just harvested pecan off trees? That's your diet? Is that real?

Speaking from experience, when I have been snacking on the pecans in my yard too much I will start to put on weight. They are definitely something you could get by on.
