Shocking High Calories in small bags of nuts

Things like these existing just make me feel angry and how people can comsume them all day and not gain a single ounce.

There are no such people.

I know someone that eats an entire package of oreos a day and doesn't gain a pound. Her metabolism must be off the wall high because she also eats normal meals.

I was about to eat 150g plain salted peanuts (It's only just over a handful), but thought Ill just log it on MFP before I eat them so I don't forget, to my shock nearly 950 calories if I consume that little bag.

So glad I logged before I ate, I discarded the peanuts and deleted my log entity cause I decided not to eat them.

My younger brother is this way! He could eat that who bag of nuts plus more and not gain an ounce. 5 ft. 8 and 145 pounds his entire adult life. We were just talking about it. I teased him and said every time he blinks I see his metabolism revving up. He got a kick out of that one.

A serving size of nuts is one ounce or 27-28g. which is usually (depending on kind of nuts) is around 100 to 200 calories. You said it was 150 grams. that was over 5 servings, more than just a hand full

I eat peanuts or pecans or pistachios almost every day, but as was said, you have to weigh them. I only eat a small amount, which may be hard for you. They taste sooo good you want more, but that is what self-control is about. I know I can always have more tomorrow! It is worth to me to fit them into my calories. But I can say I wouldn't have eaten 950 calories of them either!

I weight nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans) regularly. One serving (28g/1oz) is about 200 calories (slightly more or less depending on the type of nut). It's very calorie dense, yes. It is not something you want to binge or mindlessly eat without weighing. 150 grams of peanuts is about 5 servings (about 1000 calories), so yeah quiet a lot. How many servings did it say on the bag? Usually that info should be there. I recommend getting a digital kitchen food scale to weigh foods like this if you don't have one, it's one of the best investments I made on my own journey.

You may as well have a large (175g) bag of Doritos for that. Healthy and weight loss are not the same, after all a healthy person is maintaining not losing weight. Fruit (not dried or sugared, fresh only) are good in all circumstance though.

To avoid all this confusion with weighing my nuts or eyeballing a "handful" serving size, I find an MFP database entry that lists by nut. Sometimes it will say like 14 nuts and then you can pull down and choose 1 nut and then tailor the serving size of that one nut to the exact amount you actually ate. I keep saying I'm gonna put two just for funz but never fails once I eat those two nuts, I just always have to eat more.

shall i go on?
