Focus of Study: Appetite Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Protein From Animal and Vegetable Sources on Appetite
New Nordic diet guidelines advocate a reduction in consumption of protein from animal
sources such as beef and pork, due to environmental concerns. Instead, intake of protein
from vegetable sources such as legumes and pulses should be increased. However, little is
known about the effect of protein from (Nordic grown) beans and peas on body weight and
appetite regulation.
The objective of this study is to examine if protein from vegetable sources (beans and peas)
is comparable to protein from animal sources regarding acute meal-induced satiety.
Design:
Single-blind randomized 3-way crossover meal study
Subjects:
- 48 young healthy men (Age: 18-50 years; BMI: 19-30 kg/m2).
- Expected completers: n=42.
End points:
- Subjective appetite (VAS) (every 30 min for 3 hours)
- Ad libitum energy intake (3 hours after test meal)
Experimental diets:
Iso-caloric breakfast meals (3.5 MJ) with same energy density:
A. Fava beans + Split peas (20 protein E%) B. Fava beans + Split peas + potato (10 protein
E%) C. Pork/beef + potato (20 protein E%)

Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Prevention
