If I were to hazard a guess… and this is ONLY a guess…

28g of pecans is 100% pecans.
28g of praline pecans is pecans + other things.

So you aren’t eating 28g of pecans, let’s say you’re eating 22g of pecans and 6g of other ingredients.

If those other ingredients are less calorie dense than the pecans themselves, then yes, it could have fewer calories.

28g of pecans = 196 calories.
196/28 = 7 calories per gram.
Sugar = 4 calories per gram.
Butter = 7 calories per gram.
