Top 200 Most Fattening Foods (most autumnal)

The foods below are a list of generic foods (non-branded) taken from the USDA Food Database.

The are scored based on their distance from the Squirrel Formula of 53% fat 41% carb and 6% protein, which is the signature of nature’s most autumnal food.  The Acorn.

The Acorn, is therefore, listed no 1.  As you can see there is a large quantity of junk foods matching this formula very specifically.

Though not all of the foods below are ultra-processed, a recent, which backs up this concept, showing that eating ultra processed foods cause us to eat 500 more calories per day.

Interestingly, in this study, the extra calories were made up of more high energy fat and carb type foods, with very little protein sought.

I believe foods, such as these, cause us to want to eat more of the same and traditionally helped us prepare for winter. Nowadays, we eat them everyday so we prepare our bodies for a winter that never comes.
