Plus genetics plays a big part on how you utilize food hence all the ethnic predispositions to many diseases associated with obesity. The old saying you are what you eat is flawed. It should really be you are what your body does with what you eat. Something else people need to realize about the “set point” theory, weight is controlled by genetics too.

A lot more to research. I don't claim to know much, I just vent my frustration from lack of easy-to-find answers or guidelines. Instead of the old accepted "truths". I agree with almonds based on my own observations. And peanuts. Raw carrots. Seems that a lot of those are not fully digested but I bet they burn well in a bomb calorimeter. Sherrie – Interesting.

Even fibre interferes with absorption then at the same time some fibre can get converted to fat? Did you know that carbs are heat producing? So many variables, its really hit and miss in a lot of ways. Heck just the other day I was reading a blog post about the calories from almonds not being absorbed properly.
