Pistachio Nuts question on weight

[easyrider]

Is the 200G weight including the shell?

I'm trying to work out if i'm a Fat git or not

600Cal per 100G but is that the nut or shell and nut combined?

 

[cm1179]

no. they take the shells off, weigh the nuts, put the shells back on and bag them.

 

[The_blue]

The calories per 100g on the packet will be just the edible part.

You wouldn't work out calories on a banana inc skin..


The weight on the front will include shells..

 

[easyrider]

no. they take the shells off, weigh the nuts, put the shells back on and bag them.

So the nutrition facts of what Im eating are not accurate?

 

[Threepwood]

The nutritional value is based on total weight (nut and shell), without consuming the shell.

If you catch my dift.

do NOT eat the shells to counter this

what you could do, is eat all the nuts in the bag, save the shells, weigh the shells and calculate the actual intake weight from there

i'm telling you this is something that you could do

you've opened up a massive OCD can of worms for yourself here. you don't intend on eating a coconut do you?

Sue them for misleading information?

Pistachios will make your wallet lighter at least.

 

[cosmos55]

If you suck the shells when you have run out of nuts you are a fat git.

So did I consume 1200 Calories or what?

It was a 200G bag

 

[DirtyJester]

Are they salted? If so gimmmmmmeeeeeee them! Asda (my local) appear to have stopped stocking salted

 

[Nitefly]

I heard that if these bags aren't filled with exactly the right weight of nuts to 0.001 gram, then a supervisor will take the line worker out the back of the factory and shoot them like in Schindler's list.

 

[kingbal]

if you post your height and weight, i'll tell you if your a fat git or not.

 

[easyrider]

so 200G of pastachio is how many actual in real terms ?

 

[HummuH1]

Eleventy.

The point I was (very abstractly) trying to get accross earlier was that to be so anal about your food is pointless. 100kcal here or there isn't going to be life changing.

I wouldn't worry about it.
