I think this is too big of an assumption. Ultra processed foods are generally less filling and easier to digest. Eating 1000 calories of cereal or potato chips is easy. Eating 5 chicken breasts at once borderline impossible for most people. Whole foods tend to make is harder to overeat. There are exceptions ofc, like nuts, but i think the general trend holds.
That makes it even worse. You have more health problems per calorie with ultra-processed food (it’s a scientific fact) and you generally eat more calories with ultra-processed food. We should fight, as a society, the prevalence of industrial interests in food.
“same amount of calories”
