Find out about foods served here at UNCW and about foods from around the world. The only food that does not spoil is honey. The Fullness Factor Researchers at the University of Sydney devised a Satiety Index based on how full volunteers felt after eating 240 calories' worth of various foods. Calorie for calorie, bulky high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables rated high. High-fat foods ranked low, since 240 calories' worth is a small portion.
Potatoes rank highest, seven times higher than the least-filling food, croissants.
Oranges and apples outscore bananas. Fish is more satisfying, per calorie, than lean beef or chicken. Popcorn is twice as filling as a candy bar or peanuts. Broccoli is a good source of calcium. A 1997 study found that this calcium is as well absorbed by the body as that in milk.
