That is about 700+ calories per day from just peanuts. That is kind of a lot of calories coming from a single food source. As long as you are not gaining weight and otherwise eat a diverse diet with a lot of nutrients, it may be ok, but if that is in addition to a low nutrient, high calorie diet, you will put on the pounds.
I love them. They are briny and and softer than a regular peanut. There are two types that I have had - spicy (hot) and not spicy - salty and flavorful.
They're typically boiled in the shell with a LOT of salt, so sodium could be a concern. In my years living down south I never tried them because, well, they didn't sound very appealing to me.
By the way, aflatoxins are also found in corn, too. I figure none of us is getting out of this alive, so eh, what the heck; I eat what I like, including peanuts and corn. 2 lbs a week is nearly 5 ounces of peanuts a day, which seems like a lot, though.
