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

Question

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?

Answer 1

This is one reason I recommend intermittent fasting as a concept… there is a difference between needing energy and being hungry.

We are hungry a lot! Most of us don’t need energy as often as we are hungry.

You can balance hunger and caloric control by eating more fiber… it does a good job of sating your hunger while also not overloading your body with calories.

Water can also be a huge help… drinking a glass of water before a meal will help you feel full faster.
