This is an actual medical fact. Your brain's hunger signals are based on whether your body has gotten what it needs yet. If you eat very healthy food, you get your nutrients and your body knows you're done. If you're eating crap, your body will keep asking for more until it gets the vitamins it needs. (Of course there are many complicating factors, like rate of metabolism, variable caloric needs due to activity, and psychological addiction to eating... but all other things being equal, you'll get full faster on better food.)
