Study Notes
Biological Determinants of Food Choice
- Hunger and Satiety: The body's need for energy and nutrients drives food choices.
- Central Nervous System: The brain plays a crucial role in regulating hunger, appetite, and food intake.
- Satiety Signals: Macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) send satiety signals, with protein being the most satiating, followed by carbohydrates, and then fat.
- Energy Density: Diets with low energy density promote greater satiety compared to high energy density diets.
- Passive Overconsumption: High-fat and high-sugar foods, due to their high energy density, can lead to unintentional overeating, even without consuming additional bulk.
