The satisfying part of eating?

When i'm having the last bite of delicious pie, i can't help but wonder; what is the satisfying part of eating?
Is it the taste that the food leaves on your tongue? Is it the filling of your stomach? Or maybe both?
Does it really matter how much food you eat?

  • I wish it wasn't required to eat, because I wouldn't.

    • Same here.

      My life would be perfect if I could survive without eating and sleeping.

      • At night, my stomach decides to be like "YOU BETTA GO EAT OR IMA MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE SHIT". Yeah, stupid food. I wish all food was healthy, imagine a healthy cake.

  • The first bite... because there's so much buildup and anticipation.

    Our brains are hardwired to make eating a pleasurable experience, which is a good thing because otherwise we'd all starve. Asking what feels so good about eating is the same as asking what feels so good about sex or going to the bathroom. The answer is simply because our brains tell us so to make sure that we don't forget to do those things.

  • I just like the taste. Especially anything spicy. But it's nice to feel all it go down when you're really hunger and then that feeling of fullness in your stomach is like you've just taken a massive dump which comes after you've eaten a crap load of food.

  • I enjoy food textures, like chewy or crunchy.

  • The best part to me is the taste, fullness it gives to my stomach and the texture. I'm in a good mood when I eat something lol

  • I find Strongly Flavoured foods are more satisfying.

  • Weirdly for me, the best part is the point where I know I'm going to be able to finish it without feeling too full. I hate wasting food but I also hate walking around saying "Groo!" because I'm too full.

  • Food isn't that satisfying for me. I do have a mildly dysfunctional relationship with it, though. If I'm really hungry having something in my stomach is satisfying, but for the most part I don't find eating satisfying at all =L

  • Taste and texture i guess. I don't really like the feeling of being full. Like i like to feel satisfied, but not full.

  • The most satisfying part of eating for me is when the food is in my mouth and I get to taste its flavors and deliciousness and yummy parts.

  • I like making something and then eating the result of my work. I just think it's great, knowing that I made something which I can eat. But that's more to do with cooking, I guess. It depends on the food. Some things have a nice texture, some a nice taste, and sometimes it's stuff like temperature. And then there's things which are all three of those, such as apple pie. I'm not sure I really think about my stomach when eating. I rarely eat to the point where I feel "full" anyway.
