But fat increases satiety much more quickly than sugar. 500 cals of fats will make you feel "fuller" than 750 or even 1k cals of sugar. That's what makes sugar so much worse. Is may not be as colorically dense, but we can comfortably guzzle down far more empty calories from sugar than from fat.

I think separating the two is not a good idea.

Very few people will just eat a spoon of white sugar. Very few people will eat a stick of butter.

But almost everyone can binge on a box of cookies, where the main ingredients are butter and sugar (and flour I suppose.)

Drink a soda. There's a couple of spoons of white sugar.
