Compare unsalted nuts for both protein and energy per serving; a larger serving provides more of each. For Duyvis Unsalted Peanuts 235 g, Flink Netherlands lists 27 g of protein and 614 kcal per 100 g. That means a 25 g serving works out at 6.75 g of protein and 153.5 kcal. Nuts can be part of your diet, but this does not prove that they aid recovery on their own.
You want to work out how much protein a portion you actually eat provides, without assuming the product has recovery benefits in its own right. For this specific Duyvis variety, Flink Netherlands lists protein and energy per 100 g.

| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per serving | Compare protein and energy on the same basis, then work out the figures for the portion you eat. | If I want to know what a measured snack portion provides, I check the nutritional information for that exact variety; around 36% of consumers prioritise protein per serving. |

Use the nutritional information on the exact packaging to calculate your portion. The European Commission explains that nutrition claims may only be used if they are included in the relevant list and meet the conditions that apply.
