Sorry but isn’t GI about how “sugary” a food is…? I don’t believe it doesn’t measure to do how full you feel.

Not directly but they can be related. GI is about how quickly the carbs in food are metabolized and how quickly sugar is released into the blood.

Blood sugars spikes then drops can have different impacts on food appetite.
