Nut butters are a great source of energy - there's over 700 calories per 100 grams! If you're trying to lose weight (including on keto), limit big intakes of nut butters, as your body will burn this for energy, before burning your body fat - and there's a lot of energy to get through in nuts!

Minreals

Macadamias are a great source of the trace mineral manganese - which helps the body make connective tissue like skin, tendons, bone, as well as clotting factors. It also helps the body to metabolise carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Manganese is an essential trace mineral - which means we need to obtain it from our food (we can't make it). Other low carb foods high in manganese include shellfish, pecans, hazelnuts and spinach.

Fats

Nut butters are a great source of energy - there's over 700 calories per 100 grams! Most of the energy in macadamias comes from fat.
So, if you're trying to lose weight (including if you are keto) it's likely best to limit big intakes of nut butters, as your body will burn this for energy, before burning your body fat.

Vitamins

Macadamias are a great source of the water-soluble vitamin, B1 (Thiamine). Thiamine is an essential co-enzyme in the Kreb's Cycle, one of the intricate and incredible pathways in the body which produce energy (ATP).
Thiamine is also involved in the synthesis of many neurotransmitters (brain-hormones), lipids (fats), amino acids (proteins), steroids (hormones) and glutathione (an major antioxidant).
Thiamine is easily depleted in chronic alcohol use because alcohol prevents it's absorption. If you drink a lot of alcohol, it would be helpful to speak to a medical practitioner about thiamine supplementation.
