Satiety Index

Timing

A measure of how effectively a food suppresses hunger relative to its caloric content. High-satiety foods like eggs reduce total energy intake, aiding body composition goals.

Related Technique
Pasture-Raised Eggs

The ultimate whole food protein source. Eggs contain all nine essential amino acids with a perfect Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS). The yolk is exceptionally rich in choline (for cognitive function), healthy fats, vitamin D, and lutein, making it a foundation for muscle repair and neural health.

More Timing Terms

Fasting

Abstaining from caloric intake for a set period. Upregulates growth hormone, increases insulin sensitivity, and triggers cellular repair mechanisms.

Glycemic Index

A relative ranking of how quickly carbohydrates increase blood glucose levels. Lower glycemic index carbs provide sustained, non-spiking energy.

Refeed Day

A planned temporary increase in caloric intake (predominantly carbohydrates) to restore leptin, fill glycogen, and kickstart metabolic rate.

Circadian Eating

An eating pattern aligned to the body's 24-hour circadian clock, concentrating caloric intake during daylight hours when insulin sensitivity and digestive enzyme output peak.
