BACKGROUND The energy content of foods is primarily determined by the Atwater factors, which may not be accurate for certain food groups. Nuts are a food group for which substantial evidence suggests that the Atwater factors may be poorly predictive. OBJECTIVE A study was conducted to determine the energy value of almonds in the human diet and to compare the measured energy value with the val...
