Worth knowing

The 1-oz handful (about 23 almonds) is 164 calories; eating from the bag skips the math. On the energy-density scale, 579 kcal per 100 g puts almonds at the very high end. Fiber is the standout at 12.5 g per 100 g, which slows a portion down more than the calorie count suggests.

How many calories are in almonds?

A typical serving (1 oz, about 23 almonds, 28 g) has about 164 calories, and 100 g has 579 kcal. Calories scale with weight, so double the portion means double the number.
