I often eat meat-only meals. There isn't anything particularly satisfying or a feeling of being "full". Just the opposite - meat is being digested slowly and some feeling of satiety only kicks in after about 2 hours.
What you describe probably comes mostly from fat + carbs.
- tomtheelder 3y agoI don’t think that’s what they mean. There’s like a satisfaction from the actual act of eating it. It’s difficult to explain.
- pakitan 3y agoShouldn't be that difficult to explain. I think the concept is called "tasty" :) And there is plenty of food with that property. Meat wouldn't even rank in top 10.
- tomtheelder 3y agoI’m plant based these days, and it’s not just that. I eat all sorts of things that taste fantastic, but they don’t hit that specific note. It’s something specific about the texture or I don’t even know. I think it might be a signifier of protein content, analogous to sweet taste signaling the presence of energy rich sugar.
- addicted 3y agoI wonder if that’s just a comfort food like thing. You associate it with a satisfactory feeling.
- User23 3y agoWhen I was focused on growing muscle mass I ate around 200-250 grams of dietary protein a day. It was a chore. I had to eat well past satiety every meal. And this was on an 1800 calorie diet, so it was basically just lean protein and low glycemic index vegetables.
