Eating foods high in ______ may increase appetite rather than lead to feelings of satiation.

A) calories
B) carbohydrates
C) fat and sugar
D) flavor

Foods high in both fat and sugar can disrupt the hormones that control hunger and appetite, leading to overeating and cravings. Additionally, they tend to be highly palatable and can stimulate pleasure centers in the brain, further increasing the desire to keep eating. Consuming foods high in calories or carbohydrates alone does not necessarily have the same effect on appetite. Flavor alone is not a nutrient and does not have a direct impact on appetite.
