Summary

The investigators propose a randomized snack study in normal to overweight adults that will test whether the consumption of different afternoon snacks will have different effects on appetite, mood, blood sugar control, and food intake.

Aim 1: To examine whether the addition of hummus as part of an afternoon snack will improve diet quality, particularly through assessments of daily:

* Vegetable consumption
* Snacking behavior
* Energy intake
* Food choices

Aim 2: To examine whether the addition of hummus as part of an afternoon snack will improve appetite control and satiety including assessments of:

* Appetite Control (hunger, desire to eat, prospective food consumption)
* Cravings (sweet, salty, savory)
* Satiety (fullness)
* Eating initiation

Aim 3: To examine whether the addition of hummus as part of an afternoon snack will improve free-living glycemic control.

Aim 4: To explore whether the addition of hummus as part of an afternoon snack will improve mood/energy states
