The reason we eat more of one food than another is complex. Fundamentally, your appetite is driven by your innate survival instinct (rather than your desire to see your abs or look good naked).

When you’re starving hungry, you instinctively know what foods will help you refuel quickly. Rather than broccoli and chicken breast, we reach for our favourite energy-dense “comfort foods”.
