What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Incorporating vegetables into the diet to reduce energy densityOther

    The entree portion of breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals will be manipulated to be a standard energy density, a 15% reduction in energy density, or a 25% reduction in energy density.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Energy intake

    Measured: 3 weeks
