Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Lunch time food intake	Measure calories consumed at lunch time.	1 day
Secondary	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.	1 day
Secondary	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.	1 day
