Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of plate size on food consumption and satisfaction levels in healthy women.

Description:

The effect of plate size on food consumption and satisfaction levels in healthy women aged between 19-35 years will be evaluated in this study. In addition to this, the relationship between the amount of food that women eat and their feelings of satisfaction will be evaluated. During the experiment, the individuals will be asked to consume the pasta with sauce which is offered in the open buffet in the amount of their own determination (ad libitum) using different sized (23 cm and 31 cm) plates. The size of the plates that individuals will use on different experimental days was determined randomly.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Ad libitum food intake	Measuring consumed food	30 minutes
Primary	Self reported mood score by Visual Analogue Scale	Measuring mood (from 0mm - 100mm); Choosing 0mm means less feeling of the emotion asked while choosing 100mm means more feeling of the emotion asked.	Baseline
Primary	Self reported hunger and satiety score by Visual Analogue Scale	Measuring hunger and satiety (from 0mm - 100mm); Choosing 0mm means less feeling of the hunger/satiety asked while choosing 100mm means more feeling of the hunger/satiety asked.	Baseline to 180 minutes
Secondary	Change from Baseline BMI at 3 weeks	Measuring BMI	3 weeks
Secondary	Change from Baseline waist circumference at 3 weeks	Measuring waist circumference	3 weeks
Secondary	Change from Baseline body composition at 3 weeks	Measuring waist circumference body composition	3 weeks
