We tested the effect on meal intake of varying the energy density and portion size of a compulsory first-course salad.
In the laboratory setting, outcomes of consuming a preload amount of water before meal ingestion has led to varying results by age, with no effect on meal consumption among younger adults (17) but less energy consumed by middle-aged and older adults (18, 19).
Neither age, gender nor deprivation moderated the effects of meal on speed of information processing, however, there were main effects of age (F 1,59) = 50.42, p < 0.0001) and gender (F 1,59) = 5.90, p < 0.01); older children responded more quickly than younger children (p < 0.005) and girls performed better than boys (p < 0.002).
In January, Dr. Mattson, who's been skipping breakfast himself for 20 years and is a delicate 5-foot-9 and 120 pounds, will begin the first major study on the long-term effects of meal skipping on humans.
Effects of meal frequency on metabolic profiles and substrate partitioning in lean healthy males.
Circulation 135, e96 e121 (2017).Statement from the American Heart Association on the effects of meal timing and frequency for metabolic health.
For example, a research analysis published in the British Journal of Nutrition concluded that "any effects of meal pattern on the regulation of body weight" appear to be negligible, and what matters is total food intake.
However, the effects of meal frequency on human health and longevity are unclear [ 2].
We hypothesised that the satiating effects of meal intake on CNS activation would be prevented by blocking endogenous GLP-1.
A 2 (judgment type; expected satiation and perceived volume scores) × 6 (meal variety; levels 1 6) repeated-measures ANOVA was conducted to determine the effects of meal variety on judgments of expected satiation and perceived volume.
