Pecans are the highest-calorie common nut at 691 per 100g, with 72g of fat. A 1 oz handful is around 196 calories. Lower in protein than almonds or peanuts, but higher in monounsaturated fats. Common in baking; pre-made pecan-based granolas push the calorie count significantly.
Calories scale with portion. Here's how a typical pecans serving translates in your tracker:
Calorie-dense and fatty — 72 g of fat per 100g means small portions add up fast, so weigh it rather than eyeballing.
