This matches my observation - to the point where if I'm eating out and get a hamburger, I have no problem putting the burger itself down when I'm full, but feel compelled to keep picking at the bun itself until it's removed. I also experience the same can't-stop situation with nuts.
Opposite for me; I would eat the hamburger but not the bun. But that may be just because I like hamburgers.
I'm the same way. Depending on my hunger level, I'll eat the meat out from between the last bit of bread and stop.
However, part of this might be due to not liking hamburger buns as a bread (too sweet?). I don't tend to leave the last bit of bread when it's a fresh piece of french bread, though I still wouldn't pick at the bread when I'm done eating the sandwich.
Are you another one that would eat the filet mignon instead of desert?
Yes.
Thirding nuts: even chocolate with nuts I find harder to stop eating than plain chocolate.
Same experience with the hamburger. I think this is where the "There's always room for dessert" idea comes from. Even when full the body is willing to take in more sugar. How many people would opt for dessert if what was offered was not something sweet but an equivalent-in-weight filet mignon?
Most people probably wouldn't, but I'd eat the steak.
I haven't liked sweets much ever since I overate a few times on sugary food/drink when hungry from maintaining an artificially low weight. I'm not sure if that actually caused it, or if my tastes just changed as I grew up, but it does feel very similar to the disgust one gets when thinking about food from a place that gave him food poisoning.
