FOOD STATE MATTERS
How preparation changes the nutrition estimate
A reliable calorie entry should describe the food you actually ate—not merely a food with a similar name.
Raw
Selected reference.
Dry roasted, no salt
Mapped separately from raw nuts.
Dry roasted, salted
Use the separate salt-added record.
Coated or mixed nuts
Use the package label and include coatings or other nuts.
PRACTICAL CONTEXT
How macadamia nuts can fit different goals
There is no universal “good” or “bad” food. Portion, frequency, the rest of the meal, preferences and individual health needs all matter.
Portion math
At 712 kcal per 100 g, the 15 g example is 106.8 kcal.
Fibre check
The selected record lists 7.56 g fibre per 100 g.
Protein check
The selected record lists 7.79 g protein per 100 g.
Best logging move
Weigh the portion because handfuls vary, and use the roasted or salted state when it matches.
QUALITY & SAFETY
How to choose, store and prepare it
Store
Keep nuts sealed away from heat, light and moisture.
After opening or cutting
Use a clean, dry utensil for shared containers.
Prepare
Follow package allergen and storage instructions.
Safety boundary
Discard mouldy or unmistakably rancid nuts; the nutrient record does not set storage duration.
PHOTO LOGGING
How to log macadamia nuts more accurately
A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.
- 01
Match the exact reference state: Nuts, macadamia nuts, raw.
- 02
Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portion weights come from the same local USDA record.
- 03
Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.
- 04
Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.
