Summary

The present study aims to investigate whether energy intake is reduced when participants consume a reduced portion size (15% compared to the 'control' portion), and also to see whether awareness of this reduction affects energy intake.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Portion size manipulation

The intervention will be administered via changing portion sizes of foods served to participants. Depending on the condition participants are in, they will be served either a portion size which consists of the amount of food they consumed in the first test session, or a reduced portion size. Within these two reduced portion size conditions, one group of participants will be made aware that their portion size has been reduced, the other will not and instead will be told that this portion size is the same as the amount of food they consumed in the previous session.
