Is hunger affected by the portion size, or the amount of calories?

For example, if I eat a small steak with 500 calories, will I feel full for longer than if I ate 10 rice cakes with 30 calories each?

A lot of people don’t realise that hunger is not the same feeling as “feeling full”. It’s possible to have a full stomach but still be hungry, and to be so empty that your stomach rumbles but not feel hungry.

The human body is very good at knowing what it needs. Eat a pile of rice cakes until you physically can’t eat any more and your body will realise that it hasn’t had the nutrients that it needs and will continue to send you the hungry signal.

The problem is that humans have become rather bad at correctly interpreting both feelings.
