    According to the USDA, they are 4 calories per nut. That should put 100 grams a little over 300 calories.

    Wouldn't that be shelled calories though? If she has 100g of nuts in the shell, she'd need to count the nuts and multilpy by 4.

    Wait, I'm confused. You are eating the shells? Or simply cracking them open and eating the pistachios? This is why I never eat anything without knowing the nutrition info first, I have scrambling and trying to figure it out lol. If it is in a package, the nutrition info should be on the back? Or there should be a barcode you can scan with the scanner in the MFP app that will add it directly to your diary.
