Glucose, Whey Protein and Time to the Next Meal on Mealtime Food Intake in Children

University of Toronto36 enrolled

Overview

The investigators hypothesize that glucose and whey protein given 30 and 60 min before a pizza meal will exert different effects on food intake in adolescent children, and will depend on pubertal stage. Food intake will be measured at 30 and 60 min following a glucose(0.75 g of glucose/kg body weight), whey protein (0.75 g of glucose/kg body weight) or sweetened noncaloric beverage. Subjective appetite will be measured as well.
