How Many Nuts In A Serving?
Figuring out what an acceptable serving size is of any given food is confusing, especially when it comes to nuts. The recommended serving is 1 ounce, but what is that in real people terms? Here's a break down of actual count & calorie content; 3 1/2 chestnuts (70 calories), 18 cashews (160), 20 peanuts (160), 47 pistachios (160), 24 almonds (170), 12 hazelnuts (180), 14 walnut halves (180), 8 Brazil nuts (190), 15 pecan halves (190), and 12 macadamias (200). A daily serving of nuts can help protect you from possible heart disease, but try to keep it to the minumum 1 ounce a day.
