I've noticed saturated fats trigger a far greater sense of satiety for me than unsaturated fats, vegetable oils in particular, which I feel I could eat forever.

I've noticed saturated fats trigger a far greater sense of satiety for me than unsaturated fats, vegetable oils in particular, which I feel I could eat forever. So my personal estimation is sticking to sat fats over unsat fats will result in eating fewer calories.
- nemomarx 2y agoThis might explain why cheese and potatoes are staple dishes in a lot of cultures - that's kinda maximizing satiation isn't it?
- Nav_Panel 2y agoGlad you mention potatoes too: they're FAR AND AWAY the most satiating food per calorie, based on a 1995 study https://www.thebodytransformationacademy.com/uploads/7/4/4/9/74499561/the_satiety_index_of_common_foods.pdf https://www.thebodytransformationacademy.com/uploads/7/4/4/9...
- steve1977 2y agoI actually don’t think so. When you eat fat AND carbs, you tend to eat more of each than if you would have eaten them separately. Source: I’m Swiss and we have dishes like Fondue or Raclette, where each serving is often more than 200g or more cheese. Which would be a lot on its own, i.e. without bread or potatoes. Might also be because it is melted cheese though.
