Answer 1

The physical sensation of hunger is tied to the emptiness of your stomach. Carrying on from that, eating a larger portion will make you feel less hungry in the initial moments after eating. Long term (like l, in the hours following eating), it’s protein that makes you feel sated for longer, because it takes the body longer to break protein down so it is working on the floor you ate for longer
