Softer and starchier than other nuts, with more carbs and a little less fat. On the energy-density scale, 553 kcal per 100 g puts cashews at the very high end. Fiber is the standout at 3.3 g per 100 g, which slows a portion down more than the calorie count suggests.
A typical serving (1 oz (about 18 nuts), 28 g) has about 157 calories, and 100 g has 553 kcal. Calories scale with weight, so double the portion means double the number.
There are 18.2 g of protein in 100 g of cashews, which works out to about 5.2 g per serving (1 oz). Treat it as an energy source rather than a protein source.
Yes, in the plain arithmetic sense: 43.8 g of fat per 100 g supplies about 71% of the calories. Whether that fits your day depends on your totals, not on the food alone.
