I think it's related to the fermentation going on in your stomach. I'm not sure if it's the best way to become satiated.

I personally find saturated fats to be much more satiating, I can go without food for a full day without feeling hungry if I eat enough.

This is interesting and clashes with my personal experience. I eat two vegetarian meals a day which usually include beans, eggs, or oats. In my experience meat is considerably more satiating than meals with beans or eggs but less satiating than the meals with oats.

The high protein vegetable meal has 4 times the fibre as the high protein meat meal.

This matches my own observations where swapping a pure 'bran' cereal for any other breakfast meal allows me to feel fuller while eating less.

Also, subbing TVP for mince is also a way of increasing fibre and protein at the same time. After hydration TVP is almost double protein by weight compared to store-bought mince (at least where I shop), and it also has a good dose of fibre content, and no fat. Once again, I went 50/50 on this and I could eat less and feel fuller, and I argue it tasted better because the dish wasn't as oily.
