A Randomized, Controlled Crossover Trial to Assess the Effects of Varying Meals on Satiety
The primary objective of this study is to assess the acute effects of different meals on
satiety. It is hypothesized that a lower carbohydrate meal will result in greater feelings
of satiety and reduced food intake at a subsequent meal compared to the higher-carbohydrate
or meal skipping conditions.

Satiety refers to feelings of fullness or lack of desire to eat following consumption of a
food or meal. A number of dietary factors have been shown to influence satiety, including
food volume, food weight, energy density, food palatability, and certain food ingredients.
The nutritional composition of a meal appears to also play a significant role in an
individual's feelings of satiety and ability to stay full until the next meal.
