Nutrition guidance commonly treats nuts like walnuts as a useful part of a balanced diet when eaten in modest, portion-controlled amounts, given how easily their calories add up compared with less energy-dense foods. Because a handful can quickly total several hundred calories, it helps to pre-portion walnuts into small containers or bags rather than eating straight from a large bag, which makes it much easier to enjoy them regularly without the amount creeping up unnoticed.
