It seems that many people, including dietetics professionals and other nutrition experts, are unclear about some of the fundamental yet complex concepts behind the influence of dietary macronutrients (ie, protein, carbohydrate, and fat) on appetite regulation. Recent research has begun to unravel some of the more complicated physiological processes of appetite control and regulation generated by hormones such as leptin, ghrelin, and the gut hormone peptide YY3-35. Although the processes by which the macronutrients in our foods influence appetite regulation have been a topic of study for decades, they remain confusing and are often misunderstood. The objective of this article is to define the terminology commonly used to discuss the macronutrients' roles in appetite regulation and to discuss the interrelated concepts and roles of taste, palatability, and energy density.
似乎包括饮食专业人士和其他营养专家在内的许多人，对膳食宏量营养素（即蛋白质、碳水化合物和脂肪）影响食欲调节背后的一些基本但复杂的概念并不清楚。最近的研究已开始揭示由瘦素、胃饥饿素和肠道激素肽YY3-35等激素产生的一些更复杂的食欲控制和调节生理过程。尽管我们食物中的宏量营养素影响食欲调节的过程几十年来一直是研究课题，但它们仍然令人困惑且常常被误解。本文的目的是定义常用于讨论宏量营养素在食欲调节中作用的术语，并讨论味觉、适口性和能量密度的相关概念及作用。
