Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research is to investigate how using different methods to reduce the energy density of entrees affects daily energy intake in adults. It is hypothesized that reducing the energy density of entrees will decrease energy intake. It is also hypothesized that reducing the energy density by incorporating fruit and vegetables will decrease energy intake more than reducing the energy density by decreasing fat content or adding plain water.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard ED

100% energy density

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Energy density feeding study

Intervention Type OTHER

In a crossover design, adults are served breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 1 day a week for 4 weeks. Meal entrees will vary in energy density (100% and 80%) and the method used to reduce the energy density (added fruit \& vegetables, decreased fat, added plain water).

Reduced ED - F/V

80% energy density by adding fruit and vegetables

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Energy density feeding study

Intervention Type OTHER
