No idea, I guess this is not an urban legend? Wonder if we can look this kind of information up?

We were talking about this on Saturday. Chicken is chicken. So why is it, when I eat Chinese food with chicken and veggies I am hungry an hour later, but when I eat grilled chicken with veggies I'm not? Same amount of chicken too.
