Are they really high fat though? After decades of low fat being drummed into us anything other than fat deficient foods appear high fat when in fact they are simply normal and natural amounts. What would your grandparents or their parents have thought of the fat content? Probably not batted an eyelid. And is it genuinely hunger if you’ve eaten til you feel satiated? Or is it habit? Or thirst even maybe?
The fact that you quote calories in your initial post says to me you are still, on some level, concerned with the old low fat advice drummed into us all (and now the ditch meat propoganda too) along with the massively oversimplified calories in calories out models. It’s incredibly hard to resist this. But the evidence and science simply aren’t backing these mantras up the way they would have us believe.
I’m guessing cholesterol is the biggest fear you have about fat -as the scales are failing to show the doomsday outcome the low fat brigade predict. Almost all of us eating whole, unprocessed natural low carb foods see improved triglycerides (the real baddies) and HDL (the “goodies”) and better overall ratios. And that’s before we get into the debates about what desirable levels of the components of a cholesterol panels really are, the type of LDL (small, dense potentially harmful or large and protective) that’s being calculated rather than measured, how pointless “total” numbers are and what the levels truly mean for us as individuals.
