Study Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the energy density of snack foods affects the amounts that preschool children serve themselves and then consume. We will serve snacks that vary in energy density to preschool children in their childcare centers and measure the amount they serve themselves and consume. The results will have implications for guidance about the provision of snacks for preschool children and may help in identifying strategies for the prevention of obesity in children.
Primary Outcome
Weight served of snack food in grams
Interventions
- OTHER Snack with energy density less than 1.5 kcal/g
- OTHER Snack with energy density greater than 1.5 kcal/g
