Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
Effect of fat- and sucrose-containing foods on the size of eating episodes and energy intake in lean dietary restrained and unrestrained females: potential for causing overconsumption.
This study compared the action of high fat and high sucrose foods on snack size (satiation) and post snack satiety, in dietary unrestrained (UR) and restrained (R) lean females. ⋯ These results indicate the energy intake of an eating episode is related to hunger level and macronutrient composition of foods consumed. High fat foods give rise to higher current energy intake than high sucrose foods, and kilojoule for kilojoule are less effective in suppressing subsequent food intake.
