What’s tastier than a handful of almonds? That very same handful but with way fewer calories than we once thought.
A new study from the United States Department of Agriculture found that almonds have 20 percent fewer calories than food scientists previously believed[1].
Scientists now say a 28-gram serving of almonds has 129 calories, instead of the 170 calories listed on most nutrition labels.
Go to Greatist.com for the full report on the study.
