My reference was for whole nuts. You can fit a whole lot more
chopped nuts or small seeds into a 1/4 cup than you can fit whole
nuts.
Since nuts & seeds are generally sold by weight, it's not too hard to
measure just how much is in a one-pound amount and go from
there. And the calories/fat per ounce is easy to look up online for
different foods.
I wasn't recommending any particular amount, just stating that 1/4
cup of whole nuts is about 1 ounce in weight. I personally consume
nuts/seeds less than 20 times a year, and would recommend that
someone trying to lose fat cravings avoid them entirely for a while.
