That is not clearly known. The hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) is released by the duodenum by fats, but also by protein (I just found out). CCK causes the gallbladder to contract, and bile is released. 25 grams of fat was found to significantly empty the gallbladder, but 8 grams of fat caused 50% release. Moreover, pancreatic enzymes are released from CCK, and the feeling of satiety is, at least in part, due to cirulating CCK. So, I guess that if your meal takes away your hunger, your fat uptake should be fine. Carbs do not trigger CCK, but some bile is released, nonetheless.

You're welcome.
