Which types of foods sustain satiety longer than other foods?​

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Exploring the question about which types of foods sustain satiety longer, we consider how different nutrients affect fullness over time.
Option 1: 'low in protein' — proteins are known to promote greater satiety than carbohydrates or fats for many people; describing this as sustaining the longest satiety is misleading, so this choice is not the best explanation for longer-lasting fullness.
Option 2: 'high in fiber' — dietary fiber adds bulk to the diet and slows gastric emptying, which tends to maintain fullness longer after a meal. This aligns with evidence that high-fiber foods promote sustained satiety and can help control appetite over several hours.
Option 3: 'low in fat' — fats slow digestion and can contribute to satiety as well, but labeling 'low in fat' as the factor that sustains satiety longer is not accurate in general, since reduced fat often correlates with faster gastric emptying and less lasting fullness compared with fiber-rich choices.
Option 4: 'high in sugar' — sugary foods are typically quickly absorbed, causing rapid rises in blood glucose followed by a drop, which often leads to renewed hunger sooner rather than prolonged fullness, making it an unlikely source of long-lasting satiety.
Option 5: 'high in digestible starch' — digestible starch provides energy but is digested relatively quickly compared with fiber, and does not reliably produce long-lasting fullness; foods high in refined starches can lead to quicker satiety followed by hunger.
Putting these considerations together, the fiber-rich option best explains prolonged satiety due to bulk and slower digestion, while the other choices either lack the same sustained fullness effect or can even promote earlier return of hunger.
