Why Peanuts (dry roasted) shows up in protein-forward diets
Technically a legume, not a tree nut, which is why peanut allergies are managed separately from tree nut allergies in clinical practice.
Serving-size math
A 1oz (28g, ~28 peanuts) portion delivers 7.2g of protein and roughly 159 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 4.55g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.
Prep tip
A realistic 28g handful delivers about 7g of protein alongside 14g of fat — treat it as a fat source with a protein bonus, not the reverse.
