100 Calories Of Nuts

Have you ever wondered what 100 calories of different nuts look like? Have you also wanted to have an existential crisis while finding out? You've come to the right place!

Jokes aside—you'll most likely be as stunned as we were when we found out how few nuts it takes to hit that 100 calorie mark. Before this sends you into a panic, let's talk about why nuts are so high in calories and why that's not such a bad thing.

Nuts are full of healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids (walnuts) which keep you fuller longer and thiamin (macadamia nuts and pecans) which boosts your metabolism. And if those two benefits don't sound crazy enough, some studies have even discovered a handful of nuts a day could reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. That's, quite literally, nuts. (Sorry. I had to.)

STUART TYSON AND ALLIE FOLINO

Not to get super granular (though actually, that's exactly what I'm about to do), but here is a breakdown of precisely how many nuts you can get out of 100 calories, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

What 100 Calories of Nuts Look Like:

Almonds = 13

Cashews = 10

Peanuts = 16.66

Walnuts = 7.69 (halves)

Macadamia = 6

Sunflower Seeds = 18 (grams)

*Peanuts are actually part of the legume family, but we decided to include them in our chart as many people eat them as such.
