More fattening, less filling - Eatright
Shape, April, 2004 by Maryann Hammers
You can gulp down hundreds of calories and still feel hungry if you eat foods that are "calorie dense"--i.e., total 240 or more calories per 3.5 ounces. That's because your body thinks it's full after you've eaten a certain weight of food--regardless of how many calories it contains, a British study found. For example, 3.7 ounces of McDonald's fries contain about 320 calories but are no more filling than the same amount, or 60 calories' worth, of apple slices. It's no surprise that the researchers found fast foods to be particularly calorie-dense.
