The answer to todays RMS liefstyle and nutrition QUIZ was A! It is the WEIGHT of the food that is the most related to our sense of fullness! There are of course other factors (protein, fiber, chew factor, etc), but none as evidence based as the weight of the food weight eat. And its not how big a portion LOOKS (i.e. its not how many cups of food: for example, we all realize this once we consider that 5 cups of popcorn wont get us as full as 5 cups of lentils or berries). Attached is an excellent link of an interview with the queen of the concept relating the weight of a food or meal to its calorie content, called CALORIE DENSITY, Dr Barbara Rolls PhD of Penn State University. It originally appeared as a cover story in the NUTRITION ACTION health letter. While we at RMS dont agree absolutely everything that appears in Nutrition Action, we agree with a WHOLE LOT (mass majority) and thats why Nutrition Action is REALITY MEETS SCIENCE (tm) approved! You can subscribe to it at their website (just do a google or other web search for Nutrition Action Healthletter)
