This is the forth update on my food satiation experiments, in which I
compare the ad libitum calorie intake of various foods over a period of
one day.
I ate turkey/mustard sandwiches, using the same rye bread, which
tested out by itself to yield a daily intake of 1388 calories. These
sandwiches fell into the medium palatibility group. Possibly due to this
increased palatibility, intake jumped significantly to 2371 calories.
Next I tried rice cakes, also with turkey and mustard on them.
Although this tasted okay, the texture of the rice cakes resembled
styrofoam, and because of this this palatability was low. Intake was 1602
calories, which is similar to other low palatability foods.
Finally I tried angel food cake, with raspberry jam on top. I selected
this as a food with high air, and low calorie content per volume. This
turned out to very palatable. However the cake proved to be very
compressible during mastigation, and although the quantity looked like a
lot on a plate, it proved not to be very filling. Intake was 2936
calories. At least this is still 1000 calories less than cookies.
