The term ‘expected satiety’ refers to the satiety that is expected from a food when it is compared with other foods on a calorie-for-calorie basis. Our unit has pioneered the development of tools and software that quantify these expectations with precision.

We believe that expected satiety is an essential determinant of food choice, meal size, and energy intake. Several large-scale observational studies and surveys show that humans plan the amount of food that they are going to eat in advance of eating. Our work has revealed the important role of expected satiety in this planning process.

The NBU accommodates a range of projects relating to expected satiety. We are starting to address and resolve some fundamental questions. Where do these expectations come from? Why do they differ across foods?  How can we increase the expected satiety of a food?
