Dear lybrateuser, -one ounce of cashews (16-18 nuts) provide 163 calories, if you eat multiple servings then it will lead to increase in weight, therefore if you are dieting & want to loose weight then one serving, 16 -18 nuts is ok -it is more beneficial to have a handful of mixed nuts- almonds, walnuts, pistachios, cashews as they will provide more fibre, protein & vitamins & minerals beneficial to the body.
