Probably the one that'll help us feel full and satisfied the fastest, after all we're going for quality over quantity
Well, thanks to science we now know!
A study published in The Journal of the American College of Nutrition looked at whether a side of pasta or a side of potatoes was more filling for its participants.
The participants ate a standard breakfast and dinner for five days, and then had a carb-heavy lunch all of those days as well.
They were able to choose from “a side dish of either French fries, a baked potato, a mashed potato, potato wedges, or pasta” and then they were asked how full they were between lunch and dinner.
The study found that those who chose French fries felt fuller and more satiated with little desire to snack between lunch and dinner.
This confirms what we all know in life that the answer to everything is hot chips!
