Another thing you might need to change is your breakfast. Oatmeal is probably ideal because it has a low glycemic index (which describes how sugar is released into the bloodstream.)
What is wrong with saturated fats?
The only real bad fat is trans fats..

Also the peanut butter and wheat crackers isnt that great.. typically you want to avoid mixing carbs and fats together.

And as far as worrying about snacking on almonds all day cuz the calories will add up... STOP... Whenever I snack on almonds all day I end up cutting fat. Unless you are eating lbs of them per day its not a huge deal. Grab a handful every hour or so. It might add an extra 200-400 calories per day but its good fats, protein and fiber that you are eating. Not exactly the worst thing in the world.
