Slider foods are mushy consistency that don't stick around in the stomach long thus you might be able to eat more calories/carbs, and not get in your Protein. You might not feel satisfied, or you could get hungry sooner than if you eat dense Protein foods.

Since 90% of digestion occurs in the intestine, you're not going to feel full for long with slider foods slipping right through to your intestine. Dense protein will keep you full longer since it sticks around in the stomach longer. This article explains digestion pretty clearly.

Junk food, chips, crackers, pretzels, ice cream, mushy foods such as chili, mashed potatoes are typically slider foods. Rice, Pasta, and some breads are now slider foods for me and I have to really watch the quantity of those foods I eat. I do eat those foods, but I also know that it's not going to stick with me very long. I don't hungry, but if I eat a lot of those foods, I won't hit my protein goals, and go way over my carbs.

I can eat 1 solid cup of mushy consistency food like mashed potatoes, Pasta and rice, yogurt, pudding, cakes or ice cream. I can eat an entire "big grab" (ya know those 99 cent) bag of Funyuns or Doritos. If I eat meat with before or with any of the slider foods the limit is probably 1/4-1/2 cup depending on the food type. Like chili, it takes me a solid 35-45 minutes to eat 1 cup because of the meat.< /p>
