My program gives for Walnut:

That means on an attempt to live on Walnut *only*
we'll be a little low on vit A,B2,C.
That's exactely what can be found in dark green leaves
purslane/spinach/sorrel-like stuff.
Other nuts (especially hazel) are similar.
The recommendations above on fat and carb are the conventional ones of course.
I personally use to have a much hig
her fat part, like most on this list.
Sorry, i don't know how the soluble/insoluble fiber percentages in nuts are.
Would you mind a little ice age nuts and CroMagnon speculation?
In mesolithic times it is proven that large amounts of hazel have been consumed.
In ice ages at each warming there is a phase where the quick-spreading
hazel makes up big parts of the vegetation. Last time in the about 1500 years
before 4500BC in middle europe.
Ice-ages consisted of several worm and cold-phases, where in the cold-phase
all the tree-vegetation died.
But in the warming phases re-establishing bush and tree-phases always
should have created a big hazel time (1000 years with *only* hazel).
In the last big cold phase (75000 to 10000 bc) we had several
such "short" worm episodes.
And before that, we had a very big worm phase of 70000 years
with a climate like today, or better (named Eem).
That make
s for the anatomical modern human ("Cro Magnon") who is speculated
to have existed since 120000 to 80000 years, a very long time together
with plenty of nuts.
I think that's why nuts fit so well into our nutritional profile.
