Brief Summary

This project will provide preliminary evidence to support whether V2 plant-based mince could contribute to increased satiety following a meal, which may assist in a weight reduction dietary regime when substituted for standard beef mince.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Energy (kJ) consumed in test meals

    To determine whether a meal containing V2 plant-based meat is more satiating than an equivalent meal containing beef mince, as assessed by the energy (kJ) of the respective meals consumed to achieve fullness.

    3 hours

  • Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Maintenance of satiety in the post-prandial period as measured by the VAS. Participants will indicate their perceived feelings of hunger, satiety, fullness and prospective food consumption at each time point on the VAS by moving the slider bar along a 10 mm line displayed on an iPad Question 1: How hungry do you feel? Answers to question 1: Please indicate how you are feeling at this moment by moving the slider bar to the appropriate point on each scale below (I am not hungry at all\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_I have never been more hungry) Question 2: How satisfied do you feel? Answer to Q 2: I am completely empty\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_I cannot eat another bite. Question 3: How full do you feel? Anwer to Q3: Not at all full\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_Totally full Question 4: How much do you think you can eat? Answer to Q4: Nothing at all\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_A lot.

EXPERIMENTAL

The test meal provided at lunch will be made up of 45% beef mince, with all remaining ingredients the same as the other arm.

Other: Beef mince

Plant-based mince group

EXPERIMENTAL

The test meal provided at lunch will be made up of 45% plant-based mince, with all remaining ingredients the same as the other arm.

Other: Plant-based mince
