There’s an extra factor in there, at least for some people. Carbs, particularly processed carbs, create an insulin response. That insulin response makes you hungry. Ever wondered about the cliche about eating Chinese food and being hungry an hour later? It’s from the rice, with its high glycemic index. It doesn’t affect everyone, but it does affect a lot of people.

No surprise, you eat less when you’re less hungry (or hungry less of the time). It’s also where intermittent fasting comes in, although that’s a lot tougher to demonstrate.
