Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Meal frequency; does it determine postprandial lipaemia?
To determine the effect of altering meal frequency on postprandial lipaemia and associated parameters. ⋯ The findings of this study did not confirm the previous studies which suggested that nibbling is beneficial in reducing the concentrations of lipid and hormones. The rigorous control of diet content and composition in the present study compared with others, suggest reported effects of meal frequency may be due to unintentional alteration in nutrient and energy intake in previous studies.
