That's assuming the nuts are pure fat. They're actually about 1:1:1 fat:protein:carb => 246 kcal, or a ratio of about 1.6
Ah, wait, yes, fair enough, the cooked rice would be much less calorically dense. Do let me withhold the water. Please cook 3 oz of rice.
My basic point remains: fats satisfy, calorie for calorie, faster than carbs.
- nkurz 16y agoMy basic point remains: fats satisfy, calorie for calorie, faster than carbs. OK, I'd agree with that. I wasn't sure if that was the point you were trying to make, or whether you were saying something more subtle. And obviously there is a limit: eating 1250 kcal of cooked white rice (1 kg) would be rather a feat and would probably physically prevent you from eating any thing else for a while, whereas the same number of calories in the form of nuts (200 g) could sneak up on you! ps. Your numbers above are quite a bit off, as 1 oz is actually closer to 28 g, but you are forgiven as I'm guessing you are European and don't use ounces that often.
