Not sure how you’re defining quantities of food vs liquid here, but it’s pretty well-known that liquids promote far less of a satiated feeling, which is why it’s far easier to consume large amounts of calories in liquid form than in solid form. If you really wanted to put on weight fast, for example, you should liquidise high-calorie foods to get fatter faster!

I'm trying to touch on that addictive quality that keeps you coming back for more, even when you really should be done. When I say satisfies a kind of hunger, I mean it feels good, not 'you're satisfied so you don't want any more'. I can see how my choice of words are confusing though. Sorry about that.

Thanks for explaining, I do see your point now!
