Chestnut belongs to nuts, but it is not as rich in oil and starch as nuts such as walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds.

The carbohydrate content of dried chestnut reached 77%. There are 40% fresh chestnuts, 2.4 times that of potatoes.

The protein content of fresh chestnut is 4% ~ 5%, which is not as high as that of peanuts and walnuts, but slightly higher than that of cooked rice.

It is better to eat chestnuts as snacks between meals or during meals, rather than eating them in large quantities after meals. This is because chestnuts contain more starch, and it is easy to consume too many calories after meals, which is not conducive to maintaining weight.
