Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Masking: Single (Participant)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: December 2014

Detailed Description

Subjects will consume 3 different breakfast meals. Satiety will be measured by visual analogue scales; food intake will be recorded at subsequent meal as well as 24 hour food log; blood glucose response will be assessed following test meals. Subjects will consume an ad libitum lunch meal 3.5 hours after breakfast meal and food intake will be measured.
