Choose an individually portioned 30g peanut pack if you want to put one clearly defined serving in your gym bag. If nut variety or the declared salt content matters more, compare mixed-nut packs—but check their larger pack weights and whole-pack nutrition before treating them as an equivalent snack. Always check the current pack for ingredients and allergens.
A separately packed 30g serving can go into a gym bag without weighing or decanting nuts. KP lists its Original Salted Snack Pack as a 5 × 30g multipack; the Tesco and M&S mixed-nut examples below come in larger packs.
Pack weight changes what a whole-pack nutrition comparison means. KP Nuts lists 9.0g protein and 0.39g salt for a 30g Original Salted Snack Pack; Tesco lists 12.9g protein and less than 0.01g salt for its 55g Roasted Nut Mix Snack Pack.
The named nut type is not the whole allergen statement. Check the current ingredients and any precautionary wording for the exact pack, particularly if peanuts, tree nuts or other listed ingredients are a concern.
Start with the amount you intend to eat, then compare nutrition and ingredients for that amount rather than relying on the words “snack pack”.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Check the weight of each individual pack and whether a multipack contains separately packed servings. KP Nuts lists five 30g Original Salted Snack Packs; Tesco lists a 55g Roasted Nut Mix Snack Pack, and M&S lists a 75g Nut Collection. | I want to put one pack in my bag without deciding how much to take from it. If I choose a larger pack, I may want to decide on my portion beforehand. |
| Whole-pack nutrition | Compare the values for the amount you expect to eat, checking whether the label gives them per pack or per 100g. KP Nuts lists 184 kcal, 9.0g protein and 2.6g fibre per 30g Original Salted pack; Tesco lists 335 kcal, 12.9g protein and 4.3g fibre per 55g Roasted Nut Mix pack. | When I compare snacks, I want the figures to describe the portion I am likely to eat—not two different pack sizes presented as though they were equal. |
| Salt and ingredients | Read the salt value alongside the pack size and check which nuts and other ingredients are present. KP Nuts lists 0.39g salt per 30g Original Salted pack; Tesco lists less than 0.01g per 55g Roasted Nut Mix pack. | Salt or the mix of nuts may matter more to me than having the smallest pack. I still need to check the exact product label. |
| Allergens | Read the current ingredients, emphasised allergens and any “may contain” statement for the exact product. Peanut ingredients and precautionary statements about other nuts or other allergens vary between these examples. | I need to assess the pack I will actually eat, rather than assuming that every peanut or mixed-nut product carries the same allergen information. |
Pack weights differ: KP Nuts lists a 30g Original Salted pack, Tesco a 55g Roasted Nut Mix pack and M&S a 75g Nut Collection. Eating a whole pack therefore means eating different amounts of food.
Check the weight and whole-pack nutrition, then choose a pack size that matches the amount you intend to take.
Tesco lists 12.9g protein for its 55g Roasted Nut Mix pack, while KP Nuts lists 9.0g for its smaller 30g Original Salted pack. Those figures describe different portions and ingredient mixes.
Compare protein alongside pack weight, energy, salt and ingredients before deciding which product meets your needs.
KP Nuts lists 0.39g salt per 30g Original Salted pack; Tesco lists less than 0.01g per 55g Roasted Nut Mix pack. “Nut snack” alone does not describe the salt content.
Read the salt value for the pack you plan to eat, and check the current label when selecting a different product or flavour.
Product-specific statements may identify other allergens or possible cross-contact. Tesco’s listing for KP Original Salted Peanuts, for example, says the product may also contain other nuts, milk, soya and gluten.
If allergens affect your choice, read the full current pack label, including ingredients and precautionary statements, before eating.
These examples show how pack format, nutrition declarations and allergen statements differ between specific products; they do not describe every product from each brand.
KP’s Original Salted Snack Pack is a peanut option for shoppers who want separate 30g packs.
Tesco’s Roasted Nut Mix Snack Pack offers almonds, hazelnuts and cashews in a 55g pack rather than a 30g peanut portion.
M&S Nut Collection is a 75g pack containing almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews and hazelnuts.
These options include portioned peanuts, nut-containing bars and a single pack of chestnut kernels. A bar is a different choice from a bag of whole nuts, so check the product type as well as the pack weight.

Five 30g packs offer a defined amount to take on separate gym visits. These are dry roasted peanuts; do not use nutrition figures for KP Original Salted Snack Packs as figures for this different product. Check this pack’s nutrition and allergen label.

The 4 × 30g format provides a defined amount to put in a gym bag. This is a nut-containing cereal bar rather than a pack of whole peanuts; check its ingredients and allergens if you are looking specifically for nuts.

Four 30g bars give you a defined pack size and a dark-chocolate option. This is a nut-containing cereal bar, not a bag of whole nuts; check the current ingredient and allergen statements.
No image available
This three-pack is an almond, apricot and yoghurt bar option for a gym bag, rather than a pack of plain nuts. Check the individual bar label for its serving information, ingredients and allergens.

This is one 50g pack of sweet chestnut kernels, rather than a multipack for separate gym visits. Check its own nutrition panel and ingredient and allergen statements instead of comparing it using peanut-pack figures.
Choose a 30g pack when taking one smaller, defined portion is your priority; consider a larger mixed-nut pack when its contents and amount suit what you intend to eat. KP Nuts lists 184 kcal for a 30g Original Salted pack, while Tesco lists 335 kcal for its 55g Roasted Nut Mix pack. With the 75g M&S Nut Collection, decide whether you intend to eat the whole pack or take a portion.
No: the products differ in ingredients, pack weight and declared salt content. KP Nuts lists 0.39g salt per 30g Original Salted peanut pack, while Tesco lists less than 0.01g per 55g Roasted Nut Mix pack. Compare the exact packs you are considering rather than applying either product’s figures to all nuts.
Read the current pack’s full ingredients and allergen information, including any precautionary statement, before deciding whether the product is suitable for you. A peanut product may carry information about other nuts or additional allergens, so the nut named on the front is not enough to assess the whole pack.
An online listing can help you compare pack formats and shortlist products, but check the label on the pack you receive for its current nutrition, ingredients and allergens. Tesco advises shoppers to read product labels because product information can change.
