How is that a downside? Deriving calories (and nutrients) from food is the entire purpose of eating.
- brianwawok 10y agoOr put another way: it is calorie dense. Very easy to overconsume calorie dense foods. If most of your calories came from them, you would miss the chewing you are used to.
- greglindahl 10y agoConsuming fat makes you feel full. Like many people, I find that eating a higher-fat diet makes me feel full & able to tolerate eating fewer calories overall.
- brianwawok 10y agoSure. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware of the calorie density of all of your food. 100 calories of olive oil looks very different from 10o calories of carrots.
