Almonds Nutritional Comparison
Almond calories: weigh the serving, not the container
The USDA reference on this page is for plain almonds: 579 calories per 100 grams. That makes serving weight more useful than a vague label such as “a handful.” A one-ounce (28 gram) portion works out to about 162 calories from the same reference.
How to log a U.S. serving
For a typical U.S. snack, weigh the almonds before eating from a large bag or trail-mix container. Chocolate, dried fruit, honey coatings, seasoning blends, and oil roasting belong to the finished product and are not included in the plain-almond value.
When to use another entry
Almond butter and almond milk are separate foods. Use the jar or carton label because added oil, sweetener, serving size, and the amount of almond solids vary by product.
