Why Satiety Matters for Your Goals

Everywhere we look we are given messages about what we 'should'  be doing with our nutrition. Being told to restrict, cut out food groups, or demonize foods is not only misleading, unhelpful advice, it’s also unsustainable.  

With a better understanding of foods and food groups, we know that all foods have a place in a healthy diet. Building balanced plates and considering the satiety of these meals allows us to include all the foods we love in our diet, in ways that support our goals. Whether that is to make body composition changes, maintain weight, promote health or feel better day to day, feeling satiated can help us to reach these goals in a sustainable way.  

Satiety and Sustained Energy 

When we eat a meal that is balanced through the inclusion of protein, fibre, wholegrain carbohydrates and healthy fats, it takes more time for our body to digest. As a result we feel satiated or 'fuller for longer'.  

When we're satiated from our meals, that might mean we snack less, graze less, and spend less time thinking about foods that we would have once restricted. High satiety meals give us a slow, steady release of energy until we're ready to have our next meal or snack.  

FoodSee and Sustainable Goals 

Eating high satiety meals can make it easier to build and stick to the habits that support your goals. Without food rules, feeling deprived, or over restriction, you can build consistent and sustainable habits that you feel good about.  

FoodSee can be used as a tool for you to reach your goals. By allowing you to better understand the meals you eat every day, you can make changes that are specific to you. From the app, you will see the nutrients in your meal that impact satiety. If needed, you will get suggestions on ways to improve the satiety of your meal, whether it is at this meal or the next!
