Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Scale for Hunger 0-240 minutes

    Time frame: 240 minutes

    Visual Analogue Scale for "how hungry are you right now?" is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more hunger. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a lower mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome.

  2. Visual Analogue Scale for Fullness 0-240 minutes

    Time frame: 240 minutes

    Visual Analogue Scale for "how full are you right now?" is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more fullness. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a higher mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome.

  3. Visual Analogue Scale for Satiation 0-240 minutes

    Time frame: 240 minutes

    Visual Analogue Scale for "how satiated are you right now?" is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more satiation. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a higher mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome.

  4. Visual Analogue Scale for Desire to Eat 0-240 minutes

    Time frame: 240 minutes

    Visual Analogue Scale for "how strong is your desire to eat right now?" is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more desire to eat. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a lower mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome.

  5. Visual Analogue Scale for Prospective Consumption 0-240 minutes

    Time frame: 240 minutes

    Visual Analogue Scale for "how much do you think you can eat right now?" is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more prospective consumption. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a lower mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome.

  6. Visual Analogue Scale for Satisfaction 0-240 minutes

    Time frame: 240 minutes

    Visual Analogue Scale for "how satisfied are you right now?" is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more satisfaction. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a higher mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome.
