All I know is, that for me, if I start to eat nuts, avocados etc I gain weight, or level out. I'd rather eat a big bowl of potatoes or rice for the same amount of calories. I don't find 'good fats' as satiating as starches.
Your thoughts?

My thought is: if an expert, or self-proclaimed "expert", says one thing and your experience tells you something different, then they are wrong and you are right.
You already know what will make you gain weight and what won't, so anyone else's opinion is just that:)

You eat 100 calories of fat (above your immediate metabolic needs) and 97 calories will end up stored. If you take a needle and pull the fat out of your butt and have it analyzed, the chemist can tell you where that fat came from based on the fatty acid ratios present. Lard, tallow, olive oil, coconut oil, etc. all have "fingerprints" based on which fatty acids are present and how much of each. I actually used to do this in an industrial (not medical) lab. The fat you eat IS the fat you wear.

I have a question. What happens when you eat an extra 100 calories of carbohydrates? (above your caloric need)
