I have had a packet of Brazil nuts in my desk for the last week, and have used them to snack on over the last week or so at work.

The thing is, according to MFP, they are pretty high in calories (at least as many in 8 nuts as I get from my can of mackerel), yet I just don’t feel it.

If I get into work at 8:45, and eat a tin of mackerel at around 12:30 or 13:00 for lunch, I am pretty good to go until I get home anywhere between 17:30 and 18:00.

If I eat the same number of calories in Brazil nuts, I don’t think there is any point at which my hunger feels satiated.

Why is that, then? Any ideas?

It’s all about the “Ghrelin.”

its all in your head.

It’s all the iron in the tin

Unless you liquidise them, more than half the nuts will pass through undigested (or at least they do with me).

I’m just glad I don’t work in your office.

Not really an issue, though, I have to say.

Unless you’re referring to the mackerel, in which case, I do my best to eat it in wide open spaces…
