Then they let them all self serve how ever much dinner they wanted of spaghetti or something.
The ones consuming the steak reduced their dinner consumption by almost 400 calories compared to the ones drinking sugar. The yogurt was in between.
So drinking sugar does nothing to keep you from being hungry later, duh. But eating steak did.
But that's the point.
Calories in aren't the all same. That's why high protein diets work to lose weight...
And 400 calories of steak is a fairly small/quick package...
So being high calorie quick to eat isn't really the issue.

I’m not trying to be a dick or anything, but I feel like you didn’t understand my post.
For one thing, calories in/calories out is simply tracking the amount of calories you’re taking in as opposed to the amount of calories you’re burning. You could lose weight on a diet consisting solely of donuts.
The rest of your post just basically reiterates my second paragraph. You’re not likely to lose weight while eating trash processed foods, which is where most people struggle, because they’re full of calories and not as filling.
