Protein in Nuts Many nuts are high in protein but nuts also contain high levels of fat and calories. The protein in nuts is of less quality than the protein in meats, fish or eggs, however if combined with other plant foods at the same meal the quality of protein in nuts can become complete. The quality of protein in food is important to lose weight because many man-made or processed products contain high protein levels which are of poor quality. It often means the protein in foods cannot be used for maintenance and must either be used for energy or converted to fat. If a diet is low in calorie there's less chance the protein will be converted to fat however, the more energy we burn from protein, the less energy is used from the fat stores. Many plant foods can be combined to form high quality protein sources similar to the protein in nuts! The table below shows the amount of protein in nuts per 100 grams (3.5oz) which is about a cupful. For convenience the fat content as well as the protein in nuts has also been shown.
