Satiety and meal satisfaction -
We all want to enjoy delicious, nourishing, and satisfying meals — there's nothing worse than making and eating a tasty dish only to feel hungry or hangry an hour or so later. Here are a few key ways you can tweak your favorite meals to ensure you're getting the nutrition and the satisfaction you're after.
Protein is crucial for muscle maintenance and body function. Protein — especially complete protein from animal-based sources — is also the most satiating macronutrient, so adding a generous portion with your meal will ensure you're both nourished and satisfied.
It's so satiating, in fact, that it's difficult to overeat. Research indicates that modestly increasing the amounts of protein in a diet while controlling overall calorie intake may improve body composition, facilitate fat loss, and improve energy.
If you find yourself unsatisfied after your meal, consider adding an ounce or two more protein, and when you plan your meals, think about building a dish around a healthy source of protein like fish, seafood, game meat, poultry, eggs or maybe our hearty Beef Chili and adding healthy fats, vegetables, and other carb sources as desired.
The myth about fat leading to fat gain is dead: healthy fats from whole foods sources like avocado, fatty fish, and olive oil are not only beneficial to our health, but they up the satiety factor of our meals significantly. The sense of satiation comes from the combo of high fluid and fibre.
Say you eat two salad sandwiches for lunch and feel starving an hour later, or one salad sandwich with some lean chicken filling and are still not hungry three hours later.
The difference here is satiety, this time because the protein in the chicken takes longer to digest than bread and salad, so your body feels fuller longer. This is actually the whole premise behind higher protein, lower carb diets.
The calorie content of carbohydrate and protein is exactly the same 4 calories per gram but protein requires about ¼ of its calories for digestion whereas carbs are quicker and easier to break down. So, the bottom line here is — find foods that tickle all your senses to satisfy, are full of fibre and fluid to fill you up and include a protein source at each meal to you feeling fuller for longer.

Authors reported that the beverage with high-viscosity led to a lower energy intake compared to the low-viscous beverage when energy consumption during the meal consumed ad libitum and during the rest of the test day was combined.
Although authors attribute their findings to a slower gastric emptying rate, they did not measure it directly, nor was the effect of viscosity on mouth feel or oral residence time affecting early stages of satiety cascade investigated.
Even with a limited number of studies, textural complexity has been demonstrated to have a clear impact on subsequent food intake. For instance, in the studies of Tang et al.
Interestingly, Krop et al. These authors related their findings to hydrating and mouth-coating effects after ingesting the high lubricating carrageenan-alginate hydrogels that in turn led to a lower snack intake.
Moreover, they demonstrated that it was not the intrinsic chewing properties of hydrogels but the externally manipulated lubricity of those gel boli i. gel and simulated saliva mixture that influenced the snack intake.
All these reports suggest that there is a growing interest in assessing food texture from a textural complexity perspective. This strategy needs attention in future satiety trials as well as longer-term repeated exposure studies.
The energy density of the preload across the studies varied from zero kcal 29 or a modest energy density 40 kcal 26 , 27 up to a higher value of — — kcal 18 , 19 see the Supplementary Table S2. It is noteworthy that the lower the energy density of the preload, the shorter the time interval between the intervention preload and the next meal ad libitum meal.
Some of these studies showed an effect of texture on appetite ratings and food intake, with food higher in heterogeneity leading to a suppression of appetite and reduction in subsequent food intake 26 , Also, gels with no calories but high in their lubrication properties showed a reduction in snack intake Contrary to those textures with zero or modest levels of calories, those textures high in calories tended to have a larger time gap between the intervention preload and the next meal.
An interesting pattern observed across these studies employing high calorie-dense studies, is that an effect of texture on appetite ratings was found but no effect on food intake 22 , 61 , Therefore, in addition to the high energy density of the preload, it appears that time allowed between the preload and the next meal is an important methodological parameter.
A total of 23 articles were included in the meta-analysis. Two articles were excluded as data on a number of outcomes were missing 19 , Meta-analysis on structural complexity 26 , 27 , lubrication 29 , aeration 54 and gut peptides could not be performed due to the limited number of studies that addressed this issue, and therefore a further four articles were excluded.
Finally, meta-analysis was performed on the effect of form and viscosity of food on three outcomes: hunger, fullness and food intake. Data from 22 within-subjects and 1 between-subjects trials reporting comparable outcome measures were synthesised in the meta-analyses. These articles were expanded into 35 groups as some studies provided more than one comparison group.
Meta-analyses presenting combined estimates and levels of heterogeneity were carried out on studies investigating form total of 20 subgroups, participants and viscosity total of 15 subgroups, participants for the three outcomes hunger, fullness and food intake see data included in the meta-analysis in Supplementary Tables S4 a—c.
Meta-analysis of effect of food texture on hunger ratings. The diamond indicates the overall estimated effect. ID represents the identification. There was no difference in fullness between groups for either of the two subgroups see Fig.
Meta-analysis of effect of food texture on fullness ratings. A meta-analysis of participants from 11 subgroups based on viscosity revealed an overall significant increase in fullness for higher viscosity food of 5. Meta-analysis on effect of food texture on food intake. Funnel plots see Supplementary Figure S1 a—c reveal that there was some evidence of asymmetry and therefore publication bias may be present, particularly for the meta-analyses for hunger.
In this comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigated the effects of food texture on appetite, gut peptides and food intake. The hypothesis tested was that food with higher textural characteristics solid form, higher viscosity, higher lubricity, higher degree of heterogeneity, etc.
would lead to a greater suppression of appetite and reduced food intake. Likewise, the quantitative analysis meta-analysis clearly indicated a significant decrease in hunger with solid food compared to liquid food.
Also, a significant increase was noted in fullness with high viscous food compared to low viscous food. However, no effect of food form on fullness was observed. Food form showed a borderline significant decrease in food intake with solid food having the main effect.
The main explanation for the varying outcomes could be the methodology applied across the studies which was supported by a moderate to a high heterogeneity of studies in the meta-analysis. Within the preload study designs that were included in the current article, attention should be paid to the following factors that were shown to play an important role in satiety and satiation research: macronutrient composition of the preload, time lapse between preload and test meal, and test meal composition Considerable data supports the idea that the macronutrient composition, energy density, physical structure and sensory qualities of food plays an important role in satiety and satiation.
For instance, it has been demonstrated that eating a high-protein and high-carbohydrate preload can lead to a decrease in hunger ratings and reduced food intake in comparison with eating high-fat preload As such, it is worth noting that interventions across the studies included in this systematic review and meta-analysis differed hugely in terms of macronutrient composition.
For example, in some studies the preload food was higher in fat and carbohydrate 25 , 64 compared to protein which may be a reason for finding no effect on appetite and food intake.
In contrast, where the preload was high in protein 57 , a significant suppression of appetite ratings was observed. Moreover, it is important to highlight that a recent development in the food science community is the ability to create products such as hydrogel-based that do not contain any calories.
As these gels are novel products, they are also free from any prior learning or expected postprandial satisfaction that could influence participants. These hydrogels have been proven to have an impact on satiety 26 and satiation 29 suggesting there is an effect of food texture alone, independent of calories and macronutrients composition.
An important factor that may also explain variation in outcomes, may be the timing between preload and test meal. It has been argued that the longer the time interval between preload and test meal the lower the effect of preload manipulation Accordingly, the range of intervals between preload and test meal differed substantially across the studies included in this systematic review: from 10 to min.
Studies with a shorter time interval 10—15 min between preload and ad libitum food intake showed an effect of food texture on subsequent food intake 26 , 27 , In contrast, those studies with a longer time interval, such as Camps et al.
As such, it can be deduced that the effects of texture might be more prominent in studies tracking changes in appetite and food intake over a shorter period following the intervention. In addition, the energy density of the preload is a key factor that should not be discounted when designing satiety trials on food texture.
For instance, the lower the energy density of the preload, the shorter the interval between the intervention and next meal should be in order to detect an effect of food texture on satiation as observed by Tang et al. Therefore, the different time intervals between preload and ad libitum test meal, and a difference in energy densities of the preload can lead to a modification of outcomes, which might confound the effect of texture itself.
The test meals in the studies were served either as a buffet-style participants could choose from a large variety of foods or as a single course food choice was controlled.
It has been noticed that in studies where the test meal was served in a buffet style 25 , 53 , 66 , there was no effect on subsequent food intake.
Choosing from a variety of foods can delay satiation, stimulate more interest in different foods offered and encourage increased food intake 75 leading to the same level of intake on both conditions e. solid and liquid conditions.
In contrast, in studies that served test meal as a single course 26 , 27 , 29 , 67 , the effect of texture on subsequent food intake has been shown as more prominent. Therefore, providing a single course meal in satiety studies may have scientific merit although it might be far from real-life setting.
It was also noticeable that some studies with a larger sample size 17 , 20 , 60 showed less effect of food texture on hunger and fullness in our meta-analysis. Although, it is not possible to confirm the reasons why this is the case we can only speculate it could be due to considerable heterogeneity across the studies.
For instance, one of the reasons could be the selection criteria of the participants. Even though, we saw no substantial differences from the information reported in individual studies there may be other important but unreported factors contributing to this heterogeneity.
Furthermore, studies with larger sample sizes often have larger variation in the selected participant pool than in smaller studies 76 which could potentially reduce the precision of the pooled effects of food texture on appetite ratings but at the same time may produce results that are more generalizable to other settings.
Although the meta-analysis showed a clear but modest effect of texture on hunger, fullness and food intake, the exact mechanism behind such effects remains elusive. Extrinsically-introduced food textural manipulations such as those covered in this meta-analysis might have triggered alterations in oral processing behaviour, eating rate or other psychological and physiological processing in the body.
However, at this stage, to point out one single mechanism underlying the effect of texture on satiety and satiation would be premature and could be misleading. A limited number of studies have also included physiological measurements such as gut peptides with the hypothesis that textural manipulation can trigger hormonal release influencing later parts of the Satiety Cascade 9 , However, with only eight studies that measured gut peptides, of which five failed to show any effect of texture, it is hard to support one mechanism over another.
Employing food textural manipulations such as increasing viscosity, lubricating properties and the degree of heterogeneity appear to be able to trigger effects on satiation and satiety.
However, information about the physiological mechanism underlying these effects have not been revealed by an examination of the current literature.
Unfortunately, many studies in this area were of poor-quality experimental design with no or limited control conditions, a lack of the concealment of the study purpose to participants and a failure to register the protocol before starting the study; thus, raising questions about the transparency and reporting of the study results.
Future research should apply a framework to standardize procedures such as suggested by Blundell et al. It is, therefore, crucial to carry out more studies involving these types of well-characterized model foods and see how they may affect satiety and food intake.
To date, only one study 29 has looked at the lubricating capacity of food using hydrogels with no calories which clearly showed the effect of texture alone; eliminating the influence of energy content. As such, a clear gap in knowledge of the influence of food with higher textural characteristics, such as lubrication, aeration, mechanical contrast, and variability in measures of appetite, gut peptide and food intake is identified through this systematic review and meta-analysis.
There are limited number of studies that have assessed gut peptides ghrelin, GLP-1, PPY, and CCK in relation to food texture to date. Apart from the measurement of gut peptides, no study has used saliva biomarkers, such as α-amylase and salivary PYY to show the relationship between these biomarkers and subjective appetite ratings.
Therefore, it would be of great value to assess appetite through both objective and subjective measurements to examine possible correlations between the two. Besides these aspects, there are other cofactors that are linked to food texture and hard to control, affecting further its effect on satiety and satiation.
To name, pleasantness, palatability, acceptability, taste and flavour are some of the cofactors that should be taken into account when designing future satiety studies. In addition, effects of interactions between these factors such as taste and texture, texture and eating rate etc.
on satiety can be important experiments that need future attention. For instance, the higher viscous food should have at least 10— factor higher viscosity than the control at orally relevant shear rate i. Therefore, objectively characterizing the preloads in the study by both instrumental and sensory terms is important to have a significant effect of texture on satiety.
Furthermore, having a control condition, such as water or placebo condition, will make sure that the effects seen are due to the intervention preload and not to some other factors. Also, time to the next meal is crucial. Studies with a low energy density intervention should reduce the time between intervention and the next meal.
Also, double-blind study designs should be considered to reduce the biases. Finally, intervention studies with repeated exposure to novel food with higher textural characteristics and less energy density are needed to clearly understand their physiological and psychological consequences, which will eventually help to create the next-generation of satiety- and satiation-enhancing foods.

Anc feels satisfying and the amount that fills Anti-biohazard solutions sufficiently can change day to day. This is where the importance of checking in with yourself and being intune with your body comes into play.
A starting place can be thinking about what you want to eat before you do. You can ask yourself some of the following questions before eating.
Remember to approach these questions with curiosity, not with judgment. Mindfulness during eating can also play a role in discovering satisfaction. For example, imagine the mental satisfaction of letting a chocolate melt in your mouth. Talk about satisfying! If you are able to identify the drive for a chocolate as taste hunger vs physical hunger then the chocolate may be fine on its own.
Planning for satisfying meals and snacks can take some practice. This is where the food groups come into play.
The variety of food groups signal physical satisfaction by filling up your stomach and by releasing hormones that suppress our hunger, raise our blood sugar, and give our body energy.
Adding more components to meals and snacks will give you a wider variety of tastes and textures which will help improve satisfaction. For example, when you eat an apple produce for a snack, adding peanut butter protein and fat will help you to be more satisfied and feel full a little longer compared to having the apple on its own.
By using gentle nutrition you can make the decision to still fuel yourself with the nutrition that is available so that you have energy for the remainder of the afternoon and then check in with yourself later in the day to see if incorporating soup for dinner still sounds good to you.
Just like identifying and honoring hunger and fullness cues, discovering satisfaction takes a lot of practice. If this is something you resonate with, try to first experiment with a wide range of foods and start to observe what you enjoy.

| Everything You Need to Know About the Satiating Diet | Many of us eat too many meals in a distracted state: whether we're eating at our desk at work, scrolling our phones, or simply focused on feeding our family, what we often aren't doing is sitting down and paying attention to the meal in front of us. When we rush through our meals, our brains don't have the opportunity to register that we're satisfied, which can lead to eating past satiety. Alternatively, taking time to look at, smell, and chew our food promotes optimal digestion, satiety, and enjoyment of what we're eating. While it's understandable — we're all busy and distractions are more prevalent than ever — the reality is that eating while distracted can create a host of negative consequences, from overeating to poor digestion and, at the very least, a missed opportunity to be truly present and enjoy one of life's great pleasures: good food, shared with family or friends.
