How many Brazilnuts a day?

I just wonder, since the nuts are quite high in protein
(I know, not THAT high, bit higher than say apples or oranges)
how many could one safely eat in one day?
I also eat 3 egg yolks a day, or 60 grams of fish.
I am a 'relatively short man'

Doing the diet to beat acne, so to make no confusion

That depends on how much protein your skin can take.
So, you first need to find out.
to do so:
First clear your skin completely, as you do now.
Once your skin is clear you start increasing your raw fish / egg yolk intake by the week / 2 weeks. If eventually your protein intake is too high (causing you to break out again), you know what your limit is.
Then, within that limit, you can start replacing fish / egg yolks with Brazil nuts.

OK. I have been eating some brazil nuts almost every day, in addition
to the fish/eggs.

I have been eating form 2-5 nuts a day.

Brazil nuts may cause acne. Try leaving them out

I will try leaving them out for now, I think, but I will want to
eat them at a later point. I need them to 'upgrade'
fruit protein to get my muscle to grow after workouts.

I am planning to do a 100% sample diet soon, because
my skin has not been as good as when on the strict
sample diet, now that I am eating both nuts and
dried fruits.

I am wondering though, how many nuts do you guys, those
of you who eat nuts that is, eat in one day?
Is it like 1-2 nuts, or do you eat a lot?

I do eat fresh fish and egg yolks, but the nuts are very easy to bring
to work, to work out and on trips.

Also, I believe that on a diet with as little variation as the Wai diet, one
should use every opportunity for variation. I submitted a sample diet
into the nutrient calculator, and it does not look so good. Of course, the
RDA's we use today might be all wrong, but still, I feel better when
having some nuts.

Never the less, I will cut them out for now, until my face and back is
all clear

Still, I wonder, those of you who eat nuts: how many a day?

A handful, something like 35 to 50 gram (weight is without the shell)

Thanks! I assume that would be something like 5-10 nuts, depending
on the size of the nuts (and your hands).
