Good to Know
An ounce, roughly 19 halves, brings 20.4g of fat and just 2.6g of protein, so think of pecans as a fat source rather than a protein one. Buy raw or dry-roasted halves and skip anything labeled candied, glazed, or honey-roasted, since those coatings can add several grams of sugar per serving. Pecan pieces from brands like Fisher or Diamond work well chopped into a salad or pressed into a low-carb pie crust, just measure by weight because the calories climb fast at 196 per ounce.
