What is the satiety index?
240 calorie servings of 38 foods were fed to participants.
Satiety ratings were obtained every 15 minutes over 2 hours which subjects were free to eat ad libitum from a standard range of food and drinks.
White bread as the default.
White bread was given the default of 100. Thus other foods were expressed as a percentage of white bread.
Conclusion:
The findings indicate that foods with the same calories can vary significantly in how full they make you feel.
This has implications for managing and preventing overweight and obesity.
