I'd just add that the starches, especially those with a higher GI
(glycemic index) turn into sugars faster in the blood stream and would
hence give you a fuller feeling quicker. Potatoes have a fairly high
GI, ie turn to sugar faster. Beans are lower, hence turn to sugar more
slowly.
One impact of this is potatoes give a full feeling quicker but it
doesn't last as long. Beans fill up a little more slowly and the
feeling lasts longer.
Meat's a different ballgame, but I've read that the fat content may
reduce the impact and differences of the starches.
Just learned about the GI and found it interesting.
