Resting Metabolic Rate
Metabolic cart measurement difference before and after intervention
Time frame: up to 5 hours
Satiety by Visual Analog Scale (hunger, fullness, prospective food intake and satisfaction)
Difference in area under the curve from baseline of the Mean Visual Analog. Each question on the scale ranges from 0 to 100 mm. The two ends of the scale are anchored by the highest and lowest values (e.g. "the hungriest I have ever been" to "no hunger at all"). Some questions have high values on the right and others have high values on the left. Each question (hunger, fullness, prospective food intake and satisfaction) is a sub-scale. Each sub-scale is scored separately.
Time frame: Baseline to 4 hours
Food Intake
Meal with unlimited portions
Time frame: 1 hour after intervention
