after eating do we feel full based on the volume of the food we eat or the calories we consume?
In: Biology
There are multiple satiety signals. Some detect the amount of stretch, some detect certain nutrients such as proteins and fats.
You can get very full on a small volume of food if it has a high fat content. But for most people, eating fat alone doesn’t seem to be enough to trigger satiety.
Other hormones that play a role in satiety:
Insulin
Leptin
Ghrelin
Peptide YY
