I just read an article about the most recent studies conducted that says, the high protein and fiber content in peanuts may play an important role in curbing hunger and thereby not promoting weight gain. How true is this?

hi haze. i hope this is true because i love peanuts but as far as i know they are one of the most fattening foods along with pork scratchings etc... so find this claim hard to understand. if you ever look on the back of the packet of peanuts for the calorie and fat content is is very high indeed. as i say, i am not an expert in this field and hope there is some truth in this.
