Hi ZC,
I can't have nuts at all, at work we have them in small bags and I can eat the bag over the day on Atkins, otherwise whatever amount I buy will be gone shortly.
I haven't had caffeine in years I was just drinking decaf as a way to add fat. The creamer I use has 3.5g fat in 2tb. Its half n half.

My main concern here is the saturated fat. A breakfast with 21g of protein should have 9g of fat. Depending on your protein source, some of that 9g may already be included which would also be saturated.
I understand wanting to stay away from nuts. I'm certain that after following Zone principles for a few weeks, those urges and cravings will go away. Meanwhile, supplement with as much olive oil, canola oil, almond butter, avacado, etc. as possible.
Suggestion? Could you keep slivered almonds (toasted - yum) on hand without devouring them? What if you were to try crushing macadamia nuts immediately upon purchase (a coffee grinder should work), store in the fridge and spoon out only what you need?
I have found thinking of foods I have trouble with as "condiments" makes it a little easier.
