How we work

Numbers before opinions

USDA reference data, named studies with dates and journals. If the evidence is thin, the article says it is thin.

We name what does not work

Pistachios are sold as the skinny nut on a five-calorie difference against almonds. Almonds actually win on fiber and calcium. That kind of thing gets called out.

Built for people with limited time

Training three times a week, cooking fast, no patience for nutrition myths. Practical detail over theory.

A few numbers we keep coming back to

159calories per ounce of pistachios, against 164 for almonds
49pistachio kernels in a single ounce serving
6 gof protein per ounce, tied between almonds and pistachios
285 mgof potassium per ounce, where pistachios genuinely lead

The skinny nut myth

Five calories separate pistachios from almonds. The real reason to buy them in shell has nothing to do with the count.

Nutrition

What a serving actually delivers, which claims survive checking, and where the marketing takes over.

Training

Technique, common mistakes, and why consistency beats intensity over any timeframe that matters.
