>you do realize that the body feels satiated not by calories but by quantity? Not really. It's common sense that your body can tell the difference between a pound of boiled cabbage and a pound of steak. You're satiated when you have all the nutrients you need - calories, yes, but also fats and other essentials. If the food you eat is deficient in some nutrients, you might eat more of it to compensate. Anecdotally, if I make a vegetarian chili, and forget to fortify it with some form of fat, I can eat two whole plates of it and feel bloated but unsatisfied.
