Satiety Effects of the Combination of Egg and Whole Grains

The Effects of the Combination of Egg and Whole Grains on Appetite, Blood Glucose Response and Food Intake

The satiety effects of the combination of protein and fiber within egg and whole grain breakfast meals. High protein with low and high-fiber is hypothesized to be more satiating than low protein, low fiber.

Subjects will consume 3 different breakfast meals. Satiety will be measured by visual analogue scales; food intake will be recorded at subsequent meal as well as 24 hour food log; blood glucose response will be assessed following test meals. Subjects will consume an ad libitum lunch meal 3.5 hours after breakfast meal and food intake will be measured.
