I think it's because the choices of foods tend to leave them still
*feeling* hungry, so they feel like they've only had a little bit.

I think it is because they consciously or unconsciously lie to
themselves and others.

Therefore, if they are still hungry, then, they MUST have only
eaten a small amount, right?

A lot of fat people are not hungry. They've conditioned themselves to
eat certain amounts at certain times, and if they don't, they're
convinced that they are "hungry." I suspect that many of them haven't
experienced physiological hunger in ages, because they never go long
enough without a large meal for it to develop.
