Anyone else have a weird thing where pasta does not make them feel full?
I could probably eat 3 times as much pasta by weight as I could, let’s say, rice. And I would only have to stop because I physically feel that there is no more room in my stomach. It’s like my brain does not register pasta as food and so I don’t mentally feel full or get any less hungry.
And it’s just with pasta! Not bread, not rice, not pizza, not lasagna, nada. It is very weird and I never heard of anyone with the same issue.
Ps, because of this, I just cannot make too much pasta, no such thing.
I’m similar but will all carbs - only proteins make me feel full, unless there’s meat involved I generally don’t consider it a meal. Carbs and veggies do not make me full at all and I never crave them, they’re only there to give me variety and make me feel civilized while I consume meat. I never really crave sugar either.
P.S. I’m not one of those “meat-only diet” whackjobs and I have nothing against vegetarians or vegans or animals but this has just been my experience entirely.
That’s the weird thing. It’s not about the nutrient type because other types of carbs do make me feel full. It’s just specifically pasta. I don’t know why. I could easily eat a bowl of rice and feel full but I could eat three bowls of pasta and just know that I’m full but not feel it.

Yes, I can eat a seemingly infinite amount of pasta. Just pasta.
I feel less alone now
I have the opposite issue. Pasta makes me feel bloated.

I’ve got a second stomach for ice cream, maybe yours is for pasta
But it’s not that I love pasta in a special way, it’s okay-ish
Lucky. For me it’s either spend more money to eat beef or pork with every meal or just cope with always feeling low-key hungry.
