You're might be on to something there.  I actually wondered if the fats in
the nuts might be behind it.

How much dietary fat should be typical?  I average about 40% of my daily
calories from fat (about 130 grams/day), the rest fairly evenly split
between carbs and protein.

I wouldn't really call it "binge".  Whenever I get a craving, a handful of
almonds or a half-dozen brazil nuts will satisfy it. And I don't really
crave fruits -- I rarely want anything more than two pieces of fruit at a
sitting.
