If you ate nothing but them you could easily have a 4000+ calorie a day diet if you're eating them in the same proportions you'd eat lower calorie food, even meats. Hell a grilled chicken breast can be only 250 calories plain, a cup of peanuts roughly its volume can come to the same or more calories.
