Depending on what plan you're on they can be a great addition. The thing you have to be very careful about is portion control. I like them myself, however, I keep a container with a single ounce serving beside the bigger container. I only take the small container, and refill it only when I'm not hungry (just after dinner is good).
Calorie counts will vary, but dry-roasted are usually about 130 cals / oz. Flavoured ones can contain different oils and obviously the added items to flavour them. They can be as high as 150 cals. I just checked calorieking and dry roasted info (per 1/4 cup or ounce - weigh them though):
128 cals (6.1g fat, 9.3g carbs, 2.3g fiber, 11.2g protein)
Oh, I didn't answer any of your other questions because I don't usually look at specific foods as good/bad too high/too low. I count calories and at the end of the day I look for a balance in what I eat.
