I'm more interested in his car keys. Maybe on pension day we can wait for him outside the post office?

I agree with the first part of what you said, but would argue its easier eating excess calories from fat than carbs (9cals vs 4cals per gram).

This is true, however the faster digestion of carbs means you can stuff more down your throat so overall you can eat more calories as carbs. This is why Atkins and the like work - you eat a lot of fat and protein, you feel full. You eat a lot of carbs, you're soon hungry again and can repeat.

Unless they're fibrous carbs, which will keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Which just prompted a quick search for me, protein or fibre?!

A little from column a, a little from column b.
