Peanuts
What is this food?
Peanuts without skin (usually roasted). It’s a nutrient-dense nut that provides mostly healthy fats, plus some protein and fiber.
Why it matters to health
Peanuts can help you feel full because they have fiber (8.6g per 100g) and healthy fats. The saturated fat is present (6.31g per 100g), so it’s best to keep portions reasonable, especially if you’re watching heart health. They also have carbohydrates (17.1g) and sugar (4.8g), but the main strength is fiber and fats. Sodium is low (18mg), which is good for everyday snacking.
Healthier tips
- For daily eating (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), peanuts work best as a snack add-on rather than a “main” food. Aim for a small portion (about 1 small handful), and pair with fruit or yogurt to balance your snack. Choose unsalted or lightly salted versions when possible. If you’re using peanuts in dishes, measure the amount—peanuts are calorie-dense, so portion control helps you stay on track.
- Snack idea: peanuts + sliced apple/banana
- Meal idea: add a small spoonful of peanut sauce to veggies or lean protein
