Food Environment Drives Overeating
- Humans and animals eat until reaching satiety based on their food environment's protein and energy content.
- Low protein and high energy density foods cause overeating and fat gain automatically.
Choose High Satiety Foods
- Choose foods with higher satiety per calorie to automatically reduce calorie intake.
- Prioritize protein percentage, fiber, and lower energy density to avoid overeating and improve body composition.
Protein Leverage and Intake Curve
- Rodents eat to get enough protein, overeating when diet protein is diluted below ideal levels.
- Protein leverage creates a U-shaped curve of intake, with peak obesity around 9% protein in diet.
