Satiation from fat varies per individual. Typically it does not satiate any more than carbs (calorie for calorie) and lead to easy over consumption.

> easy over consumption I heard this for years and years, but it doesn't pass the sniff test for me. Go try to eat a stick of butter. Drink some straight cream. Chew on the fat that comes with your beef roast. Sip sausage grease. Drink straight olive oil. All of these things are hard to do. If I get past two or three hundred calories with any of them, I am workin for it. I have this drink in the morning, 240 calories of butter and coconut oil in tea, and oh my goodness is that thing substantial. Finishing it is sometimes a bit of work. But how easy is it to drink 300 calories of sugar and not notice it? Veeeeeeeeeery easy. I think the idea that what makes food easy to overconsume is volume... I think this idea is so obviously wrong that I wonder if it was ever tested. It certainly doesn't seem subjectively true. Everyone knows rich food is hard to eat!

I haven't tried sausage grease (hard to get the temperature right?), but I have happily done all the others, and the only reason I don't today is because I don't want the calories. Not everyone is the same.

  Studies are better than biased self tests. Even self study where you try to apply perceived ratings and controlled calorie measuring is better than a sniff test. Try following the setup for some studies on fat vs. carb satiation and see what you come up with. In my experience on a sustained calorie deficit total calories matters most as long as it isn't a refined sugar causing glycemic spikes. I think fibrous carbs vs refined carbs does have an impact. Otherwise, probably much less.
