With no hunger bar whatsoever, you'd have a pretty dumb incentive to just eat literally every possible foodstuff in the entire game, and I'm not at all sure that would be an improvement. I feel that it provides a reasonable balance to the variety encouraged by these satiations.
One could argue that the hunger bar--specifically the accompanying bonuses--need to be removed as for experienced players, it's too easy to game it, and for new players, too easy to utterly kill your progress. I do think Ozzy123 makes a strong point about food variety. Some of the best foods you can eat to 50% or worse satiations and still get better results from than most of the rest of the food in the game.
But overall, yeah, I think you may be right that this may be enough. The hunger bar is self-correcting with time as you learn how to manage it, so it could be a carrot to get players to learn how to best manage it for FEP gains. (I think 300% bonus is way too much. Cut it in half, please, if people think there still needs to be a bonus.)
