Why do you eat so many chips?

So far, we have understood that we go for chips, and other calorie stuffed food, because it makes us feel good - we get a "happy hit". Research carried out by Jeffrey Brunstrom and Peter Rogers at the University of Bristol, suggests that we eat lots of chips, because we know they don't give us that nice full feeling. We need to eat lots before we get any sense of being satisfied. And because they are loaded with oil, we end up eating too many calories.

It seems that we are looking for this sense of satisfaction- a feeling of a nice full tum - and we know that these calorie-stuffed foods just don't do it for us. Think about it, how many bags of crisps does it take before you get a nice full feeling? For me, the answer is never. I get that nice full feeling from porage, or rice or potatoes and gravy.

Better to eat water-rich foods, because they give us that nice feeling of a full tum.
