How Many Pecans are in a Portion?
Although pecans are a good source of protein, they’re also relatively high in natural fats and calories so if you’re calorie counting, it’s a good idea to know how many are in a portion.
The recommended portion/serving size per portion of pecans is 1oz/28g. Based on the average pecans weighing 1.8g, there are around 16 pecans in a serving and an average serving contains 208 calories (in kcal).
