The Science Behind Satiety Per Calorie with Raphael Sirtoli

The hot topic of "satiety per calorie" has been all the rage lately, especially on Twitter. Raphael Sirtoli, a PhD candidate in health sciences and all-around smart guy, is pretty vocal in his support for this trend. I tend to disagree with this trend, but I wanted to have someone knowledgeable about the subject on the podcast to have an educated discussion. I learned a lot, and I know you will as well.

• Looking behind the curtain regarding satiety per calorie (1:43)

• Dietary fat (8:20)
• Food "scores" in the SPC model (10:50)

• SPC and scores as a work in progress (21:55)
