See what 100 calories in different nuts look like

A handful of nuts is one of the healthiest and most convenient grab-and-go snacks. They can be easily pre-charged into a 100-calorie snackable serving, thrown into a bag, stored at work on a desk, sneak into a cinema, and eaten every time a retractable monster threatens a strike.

Unlike less nutritious, crispy snacks (we’re looking at you, potato chips), nuts are rich in protein, fiber and healthy fats. All of these help to maintain a sense of fullness and bloating. Nuts also have many health benefits, such as helping to prevent obesity.

But don’t get carried away with nuts yet. All varieties of nuts are high in calories, so it’s easy to accidentally push yourself over with a crispy afternoon snack. Additionally, nuts are often roasted in oil or choked with salt or sugar. This significantly increases the fat, calories and sodium in each serving, negating the nutritional benefits. When you are looking to make the most healthy snack choice, choose raw or dry roast nuts.
