Dietary Peanuts and Nutrition-Related Outcomes

Participants will rate their perceived hunger, fullness, and desire to eat on a 100-mm scale, with endpoints ranging from "not at all" to "extremely" for each category.

Each item is presented on a 100-mm scale, with endpoints labeled to reflect the extremes of the sensation being measured (e.g., "Not at all tired" to "Extremely tired"). Participants will complete the VAS-F at consistent times of the day to minimize variability. Scores will be recorded both before and after meals to capture potential fluctuations in energy levels.

Each item is presented on a 100-mm scale, with endpoints labeled to reflect the extremes of being measured ranging from, for example, "not at all" to "extremely".

HEI scores measure how well a diet aligns with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating foods align with key dietary recommendations and dietary patterns published in the Dietary Guidelines.

The FPS is a validated 21-item tool designed to measure multiple dimensions of food-related enjoyment, including sensory characteristics (appearance, odor, taste, texture), expectations and desires (memories, habits, expectations, choices, needs), and other relevant factors. The importance of each item in relation to general pleasurable experiences of food is rated on a 5-point ordinal scale ranging from 1 ("Not important at all") to 5 ("Extremely important").

The IPAQ short form consists of 7 questions designed to assess physical activity levels over the past 7 days in adults. The score is calculated using published guidelines and ranges from 0 to infinity and measures physical activity in median median MET-minutes/week. This is a continuous measure and is calculated as: Total MET-min/week = (Walk METs*min*days) + (Moderate activity METs*min*days) + Vigorous activity METs*min*days).
