Protein in NutsMany 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 within the same meal, the quality of protein in nuts for the whole meal can be made complete. The quality of protein in food is important to lose weight because the body's metabolism rate needs to be maintained so sufficient calories can be burned. Many man-made, or processed products, contain protein levels which are of lesser quality. It was once believed that if there was less concentrations of certain amino acids, the protein couldn't be used immediately for growth of lean tissue. This is now thought to be wrong, however if a diet is low in calories, the cells will tap into the protein reserves for energy usage, so there will be less available for maintenance of lean tissue.
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.
