My bag of almonds says a tbls of almonds is 160 calories. Well I can only get about 4 almonds on a table spoon so I'm thinking I'm powering 160 calories for 4 almonds.... knew that couldnt be right. This has been driving me mad!!!

So this is what I found out:

Almonds 20 - 24 = 160

Brazil nuts 6 - 8 = 190

Cashews 16 - 18 = 160

Hazelnuts 18 - 20 = 180

Macadamias 10 - 12 = 200

Peanuts 28 = 170

Pecans 18 - 20 halves = 200

Pine nuts
(pignolias) 150 - 157 = 160

Pistachios 45 - 47 = 160

Walnuts 14 halves = 190

    What kind of almonds are they? Are they coated or seasoned or deep fried :tongue:? I just had some, Trader Joe Raw and they are 160 for 1/4 cup, much easier to measure than with a tablespoon, and a lot more.

    I eat a brand over here Tesco Whole Foods and this is what I have calculated them to be based on the nutrition info on the pack :wink:

    25g = 20 almonds approx which works out at 155 cals :drinker:
