Appetite Regulation by a Breakfast Soft Bread

The study was done in duplicate i.e two different days each meal (control and experimental) separated at least one week in time. Subjects were instructed to consume the test meal within 10 min from commencement. They subsequently completed VAS on appetite sensation every 30 min until a total of 4 hours. At the end of the test day, an ad libitum lunch consisting of a standardized pizza (17E% protein, 34E% fat and 49E% carbohydrate) and water (300 ml) was served. The subjects were instructed to eat until comfortably satisfied. Food intake was registered and energy intake (EI) calculated afterwards.

The control breakfast consisted of white bread (85 g), jam (10 g) and margarine (2 g) to adjust for energy density, fat and sugar levels.
