Eating salted peanuts will not obviously make people fat. If eaten in moderation, peanuts pose little threat to obesity and can also play a role in losing weight.

Because peanuts are high-calorie, high-protein and high-fiber foods, they can increase satiety, which is also commonly known as "relative hunger resistance". According to research, the satiety caused by peanuts is much higher than other foods with high carbohydrate content, so eating peanuts can reduce the demand for other foods and reduce the total calorie intake of the body, thus achieving the effect of losing weight.
