Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the satiation measures that influence human eating behavior in regard to intake of large portion sizes at a meal. The investigators hypothesize that satiation measures will influence the magnitude of the portion size effect at a meal. Additionally, other individual characteristics will be examined for their influence on the portion size effect. The portion size effect will be measured by serving a test meal once a week for four weeks in which the portion size of the entree will be varied.
Primary Outcome
Calculated energy intake (kcal) based on weight and energy density of food consumed
Interventions
- OTHER 100% portion size
- OTHER 125% portion size
- OTHER 150% portion size
- OTHER 175% portion size
