What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Lunch time food intake
Measure calories consumed at lunch time.
Measured: 1 day
Secondary outcomes (2)
Visual Analog Scale Ratings
They will be asked to rate their feelings of hunger and fullness periodically using visual analog scales. The Egg Breakfast is expected to increase satiety scores, decrease hunger and the lunch time food intake, compared to the Bagel Breakfast.
Measured: 1 day
Blood appetite hormone
We expect that Peptide YY (PYY) and Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP1) levels will rise higher and remain elevated after the Egg Breakfast, and the acylated ghrelin levels will rise higher between the Bagle Breakfast and lunch time.
Measured: 1 day
