Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Test Meal Energy Intake	Measured reductions in ad-libitum energy intake following consumption of almonds as a mid-morning snack compared to control and comparator. Food will be weighed pre- and post-consumption to the nearest 0.1g to determine energy intake. Test meal energy intake will be measured on three occasions, on average a week apart.	3 Weeks	No
Primary	24 Hour Energy Intake	Measured reductions in total within-day energy intake following consumption of almonds as a mid-morning snack compared to control and comparator. Food will be weighed pre- and post-consumption to the nearest 0.1g, at every test meal, to determine energy intake. Total energy intake will then be calculated. 24 hour energy intake will be measured on three occasions, on average a week apart.	3 Weeks	No
Primary	Appetite Sensations	Measured reductions in hunger and increase in satiety quotient following consumption of almonds as a mid-morning snack compared to control and comparator. Appetite sensations will be assessed throughout the day using 100-mm VAS presented on the validated EARS-II (Gibbons, Caudwell, Finlayson, King & Blundell, 2011). Appetite sensations will be measured on three occasions, on average a week apart.	3 Weeks	No
Primary	Food Preference	Measured changes in liking and wanting profiles for food following consumption of almonds as a mid-morning snack compared to control and comparator. Food preference will be assessed using the Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire (LFPQ: Finlayson, King & Blundell, 2008). Food preference will be measured on three occasions, on average a week apart.	3 Weeks	No
