What’s tastier than a handful of almonds? That very same handful but with way fewer calories than we once thought. 

new study from the United States Department of Agriculture found that almonds have 20 percent fewer calories than food scientists previously believed[1].

Scientists now say a 28-gram serving of almonds has 129 calories, instead of the 170 calories listed on most nutrition labels.
