Yes, it is a good choice. Almonds (1 oz) ~6 carbs and cashews (1 oz) ~9 carbs compared to chips (1 oz) ~15 carbs. Fruits, in moderation, and nuts are usually a good substitute. Just be forewarned that you can eat too much of anything. As for portion control, always read the label and measure out whatever you are eating. This makes calculating the carb intake so much easier.
