Not that surprising tbh, Satiation isn&#x27;t directly dependent on calories consumed but on various markers such as chewing, pressure on stomach wall and certain chemical responses.<p>Junkfood short circuits most of these, it&#x27;s incredibly calorie dense and is easy to eat quickly since it requires little chewing, by the time your body signals satiation you can easily consume 1300 calories or more.<p>I&#x27;ve been on a calories restriced diet for the last 4 months (1500 or less a day) and I&#x27;ve eaten a few times at McDonalds, I just get a quarter pounder (higher meat to carb ratio, meat increases satiety more than carbs per gram) and a diet coke and then eat is in small bites and chew it thoroughly, by the time I&#x27;m done I feel the same satiation as I would have done bolting down a big mac and fries previously.<p>So far I&#x27;m down 45lbs with another 10 or so to go.
