If you're specifically looking for the most satiating, I'd recommend a room temperature stick of butter. It's really hard to eat more after a stick of butter.

No, butter has low satiety (like croissant which are partly made with) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7498104/, https://www.dietdoctor.com/satiety/foods#:~:text=44-,Fats%20...
White potatoes are in the middle but French fries (I’m assuming fried? But you can bake them too) are at the bottom, so strange

Also based on that list, I think salsa might be the perfect mix: low cal and high satiety

The second article isn't the best link, the satiety score metric isn't as good as in 1st link
Eating high-water food is filling. Compare an apple to dried apple slices, a grape to a raisin.
The idea with the Satiety index is that you can feel full with less than the ~800 calories in a stick of butter.

I want more research into the concept of calories. I only recently learned that our understanding of how to measure food energy is rather primitive.

I don't think you're properly accounting for the heartburn that would result from consuming that much oil... you could be turned off food for a whole day!
I see you, and I appreciate the joke
