Some youtuber tested cooled rice or something to test regular vs resistant starch using a glucose monitor and found zero difference in his blood sugar response.

So while there might be gut bacteria effect changes of it some people at least show no different blood glucose response.

Since Ozempic came out it should be obvious even to the most hardcore "all calories are the same" people that this is blatently false and that the hormonal response to foods is what drives satiety, not "calories".

I may be missing something, but isn't the focus on calories about weight gain, not feeling full?

The "all calories are the same" statement doesn't mean that all foods with the same caloric values satiate you the same, and no one has ever claimed that. In fact it's very common knowledge; the entire basis of diets like keto that remove carbs, the least satiating of the marcos per calorie.

The only thing hormones can affect is your maintenance requirement, meaning you can gain weight if your body chooses to store the calories instead of burning them for whatever reason, even while eating the same as always.
