A good source of protien and good fats?

I love all kinds of nuts especially Almonds and hazlenuts. in an effort to boost my intake of natural protien I have started snacking on these, is this good or should I be looking more to different foods?

nuts are for fat, not protein. nuts are not a complete protein either.

one oz. of nuts is about 15g of fat, just 6g of protein and some carbs...a few grams of fiber too.

meat, eggs, protein powder, cottage cheese - these are protein sources.
 
I don't consider them a cheat food at all...but moderation is necessary.

anyone clicking my fitday link will see, I eat up to 1.5oz of almonds or mixed nuts every day, plus fish oil, and occasionally flaxseed oil.

i find nuts work great with a protein shake...adding fat to slow down digestion so it sticks with you longer, and you don't end up hungry 30 mins later.
