Hi, Bruce!
Unfortunately for me, I do not think in metric terms, so I am not sure
about what you are saying here. I did get hung up on your statement, "100
gm fat is not as satisfying as a kilo of chicken breast." I think this is
a metabolism issue. I seem to have a strong Hunter-Gatherer metabolism, so
for me, white meat (breast) is nowhere as satisfying as dark meat (leg),
which is nowhere as satisfying as red meat (the redder, the better). I
think the satisfaction quotient is about meeting a body's individual
metabolic needs more than just the number of calories, or in my case, the
sheer quantity of food. I can be full and still hungry (not
satisfied). Without enough fat, I am *very* cranky. Dietary political
correctness be hanged.
