Research has shown that there is no real correlation between appetite and calorie intake. Some people believe in a rule-of-thumb that once you feel full, your body knows that you’ve eaten enough food for the day. However, that feeling of satiation is a poor indicator of caloric intake. As a matter of fact, often times people over ate when relying on a feeling of fullness to determine when they stopped eating.
Key Takeaways:
- A new study has revealed there is no link between how hungry we feel and the amount of calories we consume.
- The research, conducted by scientists from the University of Sheffield, shows that food marketed as having appetite-modifying properties does not alter our calorie intake
- The findings highlight a problem with health claims made by the food industry and the way in which many products are advertised — especially those aimed at people trying to lose weight.
