How many nuts can be consumed daily?

Nutrition expert Tatiana Solntseva noted that nuts are beneficial to health, but warned against overconsumption. According to her, although nuts are healthy, their high calorie content can harm slimness and lead to weight gain, making it important to control intake. Solntseva pointed out that the recommended daily amount for healthy adults depends on the type of nut. For example, one can consume 7 walnuts, 22–23 whole almonds, and 16–18 cashews per day. For unshelled pistachios, the recommended amount is 49 nuts, while hazelnuts and peanuts should be eaten in small quantities. The doctor advises not to exceed 20–25 grams of pine nuts. She said, “All nuts share one common characteristic: their high calorie content. For instance, 100 grams of pine nuts contain about 700 calories (more than a chocolate bar), and 100 grams of walnuts contain about 650 calories. Hazelnuts (628 calories), almonds (575), cashews (553), pistachios (557), peanuts (567), and Brazil nuts (659). Therefore, it is important to control the amount consumed.” According to her, all the quantities mentioned are intended for healthy adults. She recommends that older adults and those who are mindful of their weight reduce the stated amounts by about one-third, as these quantities will not harm slimness but will support metabolism, whereas exceeding them may lead to excessive calorie intake.
