I had a healthy stir fry for my lunch today. Just chicken and a variety of vegetables. I figured the veggies would be filling. But 20 minutes after I’m done, I’m still feeling hungry. So I figure I’ll grab a KitKat bar, calories are calories and I’ll still be under my target. I finished half of it and felt full.
But the thing is for dinner last night, I had 2 portions of that stir fry and still went to bed feeling hungry. How does more food make me still feel hungry, but less food with a dessert make me feel fine

What makes you feel full is hormones. What prompts those hormones into action is complicated — way more complicated than most people want to acknowledge or deal with. There is no simple element of food that’s responsible for making you feel full.
