satiating

Quenching a hunger

Satiating means satisfying fully, especially hunger or appetite.

Food that is satiating leaves you feeling full: Protein is more satiating than simple carbohydrates.

The word extends to any desire or craving that can be completely fulfilled: Nothing was satiating his need for approval.

Compare satisfying, which suggests adequacy; satiating implies reaching the point where you want no more.
