it should be obvious that one cannot consume copious amounts of nuts in addition to their ideal caloric intake and not gain weight Indeed. That's why I was stunned at being challenged to test it. nuts are extremely 'rich' tasting to me and thus feel 'filling'.... I have been following something that Nutrition Data calls "Fullness Factor." They offer that satiety is a function primarily of the weight of the food, how long it stays in your stomach, and the amount of protein and fiber. They are trying to quantify satiety and have assigned numeric ratings to each food. It's a work in progress. Here's the link if you're interested. nutritiondata.com I think that satiety must be very personal. I find that protein works for me but fiber doesn't, for example. With regard to walnuts, they assign it a low fullness rating yet you find it effective. Nuts don't work for me. I use feta cheese or calamata olives the way you use nuts. They work for me most of the time at a cost of fewer than 50 calories.
