Carbs have 4 calories but only give you 1 unit of satiety. Protein has 4 calories but give you 5 units of satiety, and fats have 9 calories and give you 10 units of satiety.
It’s much easier to over eat carbs. 200 calories of chicken breast vs 200 calories of chocolate bar, huge difference.
Not all carbs are equal, but even the best carb isn’t as good as protein or fat if you’re comparing calorie : satiety ratio
