> It takes very little energy to digest fat, a moderate amount for carbs, and a high amount for protein.

Carbs are the easiest to digest, proteins and fats are the hardest. That's why they make you feel satiated for longer.

However fats are more calorie dense (9kcal per 1g, vs 4kcal per 1g of proteins/carbs). Which means, if you're not careful, you can binge eat fats more easily (I can consume 1000kcal of almonds without even noticing).

Yes but I should have clarified that I was talking about the overall process of deposition as fat.

Despite being complex to digest, once absorbed, dietary fat is very efficiently stored as body fat unlike carbs and protein which must undergo further steps to become fat. Once fat is in circulation, the excess is easily deposited into fat cells.
