Just saw this interesting research review that looked at hard textured foods vs soft textured foods. They found that the group eating hard textured food ate around 200 less calories in a meal and felt as full as the group that ate soft textured foods with no additional snacking or caloric rebound later in the day.

These are the meals provided in each category of the study:
Soft-Minimally-processed Meal
Some of the food choices don't exactly make sense to me, but still worthwhile see the difference and a good tool for the toolbox of caloric reduction without counting calories.
