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.


What we discussed:


  • Looking behind the curtain regarding satiety per calorie (1:43)
  • The differences between the SPC and PE diets (4:41)
  • Dietary fat (8:20)
  • Food "scores" in the SPC model (10:50)
  • Good foods, bad foods, and the way bodies react differently to various dietary approaches (14:16)
  • SPC and scores as a work in progress (21:55)
  • Why humans overcomplicate nutrition (26:07)
  • Making your way through the weeds of conflicting data (28:29)
  • How Raphael structures his own nutrition (30:54)
  • Finding a happy medium or balance (36:07)
  • His "elevator pitch" (37:27)
