Satiety vs. satiation: what’s the difference?
While sometimes used interchangeably in the lay press, satiety and satiation do have distinct and separate definitions. Satiation is the combination of biological processes that bring about an end to an eating episode. This process begins during the meal and culminates in the point at which you feel you have had enough to eat and do not want to consume any more food. Satiation may be influenced by the volume of food you consume and the time it takes you to eat your meal. Satiety is the process that inhibits you from eating until the next meal. Feelings of satiety may be influenced by fiber, protein, and caloric density.
