Clinical Trial Summary

Reducing food portion size is a potential strategy to reduce energy intake. However, it remains unclear who is most susceptible to the portion size effect (PSE). There are just two studies which have examined the PSE in the context of socioeconomic position (SEP), with mixed findings. In an online trial the PSE on intended consumption of unhealthy snacks was 18-24% larger for participants of lower SEP compared to participants of higher SEP. However, in a recent laboratory study which examined the PSE on total daily energy intake, participants of lower SEP were no more susceptible to the influence of portion size on eating behaviour than participants of higher SEP. Further research is required to elucidate these divergent findings. There is also an absence of evidence examining the moderating role of subjective social status (SSS) - an individual's perceived standing in society - on the PSE. Given evidence that the subjective experience of social class may be associated with health outcomes, the present study examines whether reductions to the portion size reduces daily energy intake, and whether and how SSS (higher vs lower) moderates the PSE. In a crossover experiment, participants will be served all meals in the lab on two separate days, with the portion size of main components at breakfast, lunch and dinner manipulated (i.e. smaller on one day vs larger on the other day). All other foods offered are identical. Food intake from the portion-manipulated breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as all other meal components (non-portion-manipulated sides, dessert, seconds, snacks, etc.) will be measured, to assess total daily energy intake (kcal).
