How to Count Your Akhrot

  • Halves vs whole: if you count halves, halve the numbers above (one half ≈ 13 kcal).
  • Chopped walnuts: 1 tablespoon (about 7 g) ≈ 46 kcal.
  • Coated or honey walnuts have extra sugar and calories — check the pack.

Fitting Akhrot into Your Day

A common snack portion of nuts is about 30 g — roughly 7 whole walnut kernels (196 kcal). Many people simply have 2–4 akhrot a day. If you follow a diet plan or have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian about portions.
