Answers:
This might interest you about salted peanuts. An average handful of peanuts are about 40 peanuts. Every 10 whole dry roasted peanuts have 45 calories, five grams of fat and two grams of protein. So every handful of peanuts you eat has 180 calories, 20 grams of fat and eight grams of protein. This would be equal to four pats of butter and one ounce of meat.

A word of caution about salted peanuts. Dry roasted peanuts also contain significant amounts of sodium in the form of added salt. There are several brands of reduced sodium peanuts available. Try them to reduce your salt intake.
Health Question & Answer

Nuts and peanuts are a great source of healthy fats, protein and vitamins; however, they are caloric and should be eaten in moderation if you're trying to lose weight. Just 1/4 cup (about 36 grams) of peanuts contains 206 calories. That's not to say you shouldn't eat them -- they can help you feel full, and studies show that those who eat nuts and seeds are, on average, slimmer. Just watch your portion sizes. also, try some raw almonds (a serving size is 23 almonds, which contain about 160 calories) and walnuts (a serving size is 14 halves). The latter are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to promote heart health and better moods. And try having whole-grain toast with a tablespoon of peanut or almond butter (look for the natural, non-hydrogenated kind). Good luck with your weight loss!
