Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Visual Analogue Scale for Hunger 0-240 minutes

Visual Analogue Scale for "how hungry are you right now?" is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more hunger. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a lower mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome.

Time frame: 240 minutes

Visual Analogue Scale for Fullness 0-240 minutes

Visual Analogue Scale for "how full are you right now?" is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more fullness. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a higher mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome.

Time frame: 240 min

Visual Analogue Scale for Satiation 0-240 minutes

Visual Analogue Scale for "how satiated are you right now?" is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more satiation. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a higher mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome.

Time frame: 0-240 min
