>I have a feeling though that excess fat can go right through you in some cases like that - because there have been times where I was binging on peanut butter, like easily 16-24oz in a day often, like 2-3000 calories extra on top of my normal diet, and I didn't gain weight, I think a lot of it went through me undigested.

Nuts, specifically, do this:

Peanut butter is usually pretty bioavailable, though. Unless it was particularly coarse (like the kind you get freshly made at an upscale grocer)?

Yeah I know chunks of nut can get through undigested but in this case it was creamy peanut butter, "natural" but not crunchy. I wonder if it may have been because of the quantity, that the body was like "nope we don't need all that" or what.
