after eating do we feel full based on the volume of the food we eat or the calories we consume?
In: Biology
Basically you have 3 sensors: weight, volume, and calories density or nutritional value. So, you can feel full on a bag of fries, and you can feel full eating a massive salad. And while the salad is healthier and more packed with nutrients and fills more volume, it has less weight and you’ll digest it faster. So you’ll feel hungry sooner. The fries will fill you up oil-calories wise, but will take longer to digest and therefore make you feel full for longer. There’s a great pictogram out there of illustrated stomachs & how full they get based on different foods. I’m not sure how to link things. Google “calorie density” and find the photo of stomachs [stomach pic](https://images.app.goo.gl/wX7Q7sfGh58Hpb4D8)
