satiety
Comfortable after eating
Satiety is the state of being fully satisfied, especially with food—the feeling of having had enough.
It's more formal than fullness and appears often in nutrition science: The high fiber content promotes satiety.
Extended uses describe satisfaction of any appetite or desire: a satiety of pleasure, satiety with material possessions.
The related adjective is satiated.
