How many rolls, cookies or baby carrots would you have to eat to feel full. It's probably more than you'd want to 1. It may not even be possible with carrots. But what if you ate that volume of filet mignon? Hunger and fullness are controlled by hormones that send 2 between your gut and your head. And different foods send different messages. Some say eat more and others warn you to slow down.Now a study finds that protein is, indeed, key in generating signals of fullness. The work is in the journal Cell. Mice that lack 3 to sense that they were eating protein kept chowing down without 4 to feel full. Whereas normal mice would stop eating much sooner while eating a high-protein meal. The results of the study make it extra 5, that Joey Chestnut wolfed down 68 hot dogs at the Nathan's July 4th hot dog eating contest—with more time he likely would have felt full after a few. But for people eating sensibly, 6 chicken or fish supply satiating protein too.
