Brief Summary

A pilot study was conducted to develop the study menus that were similar in appearance, aroma, and taste.

Palatability; Taste

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Palatability

  The aim of the study is to test for differences in palatability rats of four menus that will be administered during the ENERGY I project. During the pilot study, weill will collect palatability ratings for each menu (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) from four different menus that will be served to participants during the main trial. The menus consist of three diets and baseline. that vary in dietary fat and energy density : 1) high fat/high energy density, 2) hgih fat/low energy density, and 3) high carbohydrate/low energy density.

Study Arms (4)

Pilot Group 1

EXPERIMENTAL

Each Participant completed taste tests at breakfast, lunch and dinner consisting of the 4 menus (baseline, high fat-high energy density, high fat-low energy density, and high carbohydrate-low energy density).

Other: Breakfast (1-2 hours, in the morning); Other: Lunch (1-2 Hours, at midday); Other: Dinner (1-2 hours, in the afternoon)

Pilot Group 2

EXPERIMENTAL

Each Participant completed taste tests at breakfast, lunch and dinner consisting of the 4 menus (baseline, high fat-high energy density, high fat-low energy density, and high carbohydrate-low energy density).

Other: Breakfast (1-2 hours, in the morning); Other: Lunch (1-2 Hours, at midday); Other: Dinner (1-2 hours, in the afternoon)

Pilot Group 3

EXPERIMENTAL

Each Participant completed taste tests at breakfast, lunch and dinner consisting of the 4 menus (baseline, high fat-high energy density, high fat-low energy density, and high carbohydrate-low energy density).

Other: Breakfast (1-2 hours, in the morning); Other: Lunch (1-2 Hours, at midday); Other: Dinner (1-2 hours, in the afternoon)

Pilot Group 4

EXPERIMENTAL

Each Participant completed taste tests at breakfast, lunch and dinner consisting of the 4 menus (baseline, high fat-high energy density, high fat-low energy density, and high carbohydrate-low energy density).

Other: Breakfast (1-2 hours, in the morning); Other: Lunch (1-2 Hours, at midday); Other: Dinner (1-2 hours, in the afternoon)

Interventions

Breakfast (1-2 hours, in the morning) OTHER

You will be required to taste small portions (1 to 2 bites) of 4 different breakfast meals. You will be asked to reate the taste after each meal. Meals will vary in fat and energy density, and will consist of two high fat diets and a high carbohydrate diet. Energy density is the ammount of enregy of kilocalories in one gram of the food.

Lunch (1-2 Hours, at midday) OTHER

You will be required to taste small portions of 4 different lunch meals. You will be asked to reate the taste after each meal. Meals will vary in fat and energy density, and will consist of two high fat diets and a high carbohydrate diet. Energy densityis the ammount of enregy of kilocalories in one gram of the food.

Dinner (1-2 hours, in the afternoon) OTHER

You will be required to taste small portions of 4 different dinner meals. You will be asked to reate the taste after each meal. Meals will vary in fat and energy density, and will consist of two high fat diets and a high carbohydrate diet. Energy densityis the ammount of enregy of kilocalories in one gram of the food.
