How about finding out how many calories there are in a single peanut (look online, I think Livestrong has quite a good database), and then just counting out your portion? I do that with grapes these days, they're high enough in calories that I don't want to share a punnet or even half a punnet at a time with my partner, and it's easiest to count them out as I am taking them off the stem to wash.
I hate it when packaging gives ambiguous nutritional info. I was eating a couple of taco shells last night, and the box provides the taco shells, a spice mix, and a packet of salsa. So the nutritional info was either 100g of pure taco shell, in which case I'd have to weigh the taco shells alone and divide by the number in the packet, or else it gave you the info for a taco shell with a portion of spices and salsa. Then you get cereal boxes which give you the info for a certain sized portion with a certain amount of a certain type of milk in there, which no doubt is wonderful if that's exactly the way you eat that cereal, but hopeless if you eat a different quantity or don't use cow's milk.
And then, of course, you get products with NO nutritional info on the packet and you have to spend ages trying to find the data for an unusual type of rice...
