Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in food intake

Weight (grams) of the food consumed

Time frame
Weeks 1, 2
2

Change in liking

Measured on a 100-mm visual analogue scale ranging from not at all (0 mm) to extremely (100 mm). This will be used to calculate the magnitude of change in liking from before to after the meal.

Time frame
From before the test meal to after the test meal in weeks 1, 2

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in energy intake

Energy (kcal) of the food consumed

Time frame
Weeks 1, 2
2

Change in water intake

Weight (grams) of water consumed

Time frame
Weeks 1, 2
3

Change in meal duration

Duration of the meal in minutes

Time frame
Weeks 1, 2
4

Change in eating rate

Mean food intake per minute (grams/minute), calculated by dividing meal food intake by meal duration
