Uh,..........pigging out?  Will that do?

A fundamental difference between us is that you're a man with greater
caloric needs, whereas I'm a middle-aged woman in the throes of hormone
havoc and a half-pound of nuts at a sitting most definitely puts weight on
me.

I've loved all kinds of nuts since I was a kid, but before going paleo I
limited my intake strictly to late fall & winter because I always gained
weight on them.

Actually, I will tend to do this.  Or I also eat regular meals in addition
to pigging out on nuts, which always means my caloric intake greatly exceeds
a day's expenditure.

Oh, nuts!
