Wnich type of food satisfies you more when you're so hungry that a gulp of water hits the bottom of your belly like a brick?
Salt, sugar, high fat or all three?
That's a tuff question but I would have to say something salty. The sugar makes me too shaky feeling, but I would have to add something high in carbs, (good carbs) but carbs none the less.
Ice cream and good beer... both have way more calories than I need...
I can pass on the salt, but sugar and fat RULE!
Scientifically speaking, scientists have found that meals with higher fat content "tricks" the body into feeling more full. After 20 minutes of eating healthy fats, a hunger hormone (can't remember which one...leptin?) is turned off in your brain.
That's why it's important to include some healthy fats in each of your meals and snacks. (Extra virgin olive oil, avocado, almonds, etc.) About 25-30% of your diet's calories should be from healthy fats. Anything less sets you up for major hunger and anything more is overkill.
Personally, I think the most amazing snack in the world has to be almonds because of the awesome taste AND health benefits!
