Satiety Index
A quasi-scienti?c study by Australian researcher Dr
Susanne Holt scored 38 di?erent foods by how ?lling
a group of students found them after eating a 240calorie portion. Foods scoring higher than 100 were
judged to be more satisfying than white bread, while
those under 100 were less satisfying. Foods that have
a higher satiety index keep hunger down longer, and
would be better choices for people wanting to reduce
their weight.
