I'm thinking hanadr is suggesting the following so you can understand what you're consuming nutritionally:
For example, take the nutritional values for 1 almond (I got this info off this site -
http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut ... cts/3085/2 - not used them before but seems pretty well covered)
1 almond (1 gram) contains:
- Calories 5.7
- From Carbohydrate 0.9
- From Fat 4.1
- From Protein 0.7
Multiply by 2 as you have 2 in your bag, and you've got your values for the almonds. You can do the same for the other nuts and fruits, and if you can't count them individually like you can the almonds, you can weigh them and calculate it by weight instead (I'd say this approach was more accurate anyway and will always work). For example, the same way of calculating a single almond would be:
100g of almonds contains:
- Calories 575
- From Carbohydrate 87.7
- From Fat 414
- From Protein 73.6
Then weigh your almond (assume 1 gram):
- Calories 5.75 (575 / 100)
- From Carb: 0.87 (87.7 / 100)
- From Fat: 4.14 (414 / 100)
- From Protein: 0.73 (73.6 / 100)
You basically get the same figures.
