Energy Content and Energy Density of Pre-portioned Entrees

NCT01349023 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 73

Summary

Pre-portioned entrées are commonly consumed to help control portion size and limit energy intake. Few studies, however, have investigated the influence of the characteristics of pre-portioned entrées on energy intake. This study investigates how the characteristics of solid pre-portioned entrées, specifically, variations in their energy content and energy density influence energy intake over a day. The investigators hypothesize that reducing the energy content and energy density of compulsory entrées will act independently and add together to reduce daily energy intake.
