Why is it that 250ml of apple juice, about 25g of carbs does not fill you up as much as say a slice of bread which also has 25g of carbs.
If you were to drink ALL your carbs what would happen...

Why would 200 calories from broccoli fill you up more than 200 calories from granola?
25g of protein of chicken vs. whey?

wow.. those pics are f'ked up.
anyway, solid vs. liquid carbs have a different chemical structure, which can obviously be seen, tasted, and felt with the naked eye.
You want to eat complex carbs (what you may be thinking as solids), which digest much more slowly than simple carbs (liquid sugars), so that your energy absorption is respective to your energy exertion.

Not entirely
There's also the less scientific but obvious explanation of feeling like you've eaten, where liquids obvioiusely score less. And I'm not talkin only fibre, which expands and helps you feel even fuller, just food generally speaking.
Chicken breast is seriously low on fat, and if you want an even better example, tuna canned in water - tho I really got sick of how boring it is after a while. Eating tuna worth 50 grams of protein [so about 200 grams] will definitely make you feel fuller than 50 grams of protein from a big whey shake and they indeed will have 200 calories each.
This was a reply to the calorie density thing specifically.Last edited by man0war; 03-29-2009 at 10:09 PM.

Well the calorie density of what is consumed could be the issue. If you eat a lot of calorie-light things and filled your stomach that way, you can feel full. But throw down a little bit of calorie-heavy things in there, and even though you have consumed the same amount of calories, you will probably feel less satiated.
That said, I am sure that's only one part of the picture. But something to think about.--- Nick ---
