“…Several researchers have suggested that individuals might consume a constant number of pieces or units of similar foods, despite variations in the size of the units (Nisbett, 1968;Herman & Polivy, 2005;Geier, Rozin, & Doros, 2006). Results from other studies, however, indicate that intake is not consistent by the number of food units (Spiegel et al, 1993;Devitt & Mattes, 2004). The present study supports the latter findings in that subjects consumed a different number of pieces of the two types of snack (68 pieces of the less-aerated snack versus 24 pieces of the more-aerated snack).…”

“…On the other hand, it is well known that the energy density of foods modulates food intake independently of macronutrients content. [71][72][73][74] This was also found in the present work. Therefore, it can be assumed, as suggested by others, 75,76 that cognitive and orosensory factors, as well as physiological control related to gastric distension and rate of gastric emptying or hormonal signals could be associated with sensory-specific satiety for the particular high satiating effect of some high energy density foods.…”

“…Eating foods with lower energy density (fewer calories per unit weight) has been shown to reduce overall energy intake and (over time) reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity. This conclusion is supported by evidence from short-term experimental studies, which consistently find that decreasing the energy density of the diet enhances satiation and lowers energy intake among experimental subjects (Darmon et al, 2004;Devitt and Mattes, 2004;Rolls et al, 2005;Blass, 2008).…”
