NCT02402504

Brief Summary

The objectives are to test the acute effects of different extruded pulse snacks on: 1) post-prandial blood glucose, insulin and appetite for two hours, and 2) food intake two hours following consumption of pulse products. The investigators hypothesize that snack products containing pulse ingredients will lead to lower blood glucose, insulin, appetite and food intake responses compared to non-pulse snack products.

    0 - 200 min

  • Food Intake

    Ad-libitum meal

    at 120 min

  • Subjective Appetite

    Measured by VAS questionnaire at 12 time points used to calculate area under curve (AUC) (Composite measure)

    0-200 min

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Palatability of treatments

    at 5 minutes

  • Palatability of meal

    at 140 minutes

  • Energy and Fatigue

    0-200 min

  • Physical Comfort

    0-200 min
