Hi ...I'm new to this site ( day#2) and just hav ea quick question. I just added sunflower seeds to my food list for today (Trader Joe's salted in the shell) and it gave me 360 calories for 1 cup. Are they saying 1 cup in the shell or 1 cup shelled? I just thought almost 400 calories seemed high for that many seeds...
Thanks

    That seems high. I usually buy the Frito Lay brand and my usual serving is about a half a cup (1 ounce seeds in the shell) and around 80 or 90 calories.

    That 360 calories sounds close to a whole 4 ounce bag of the Frito Lay brand ones.

    I just looked it up in the food list and got several entries for Trader Joe's Salted in the Shell Sunflower Seeds. I'd assume that that is measured with the shells. All but one say 180 calories for 1/2 cup. I'd assume that came off the package, and unless the package said they were shelled. Do you have any packaging?
