Study Summary

This trial is designed to see if children feel different levels of hunger and fullness after eating high-satiety or usual foods, and if this affects their learning outcomes.

Who is the study for?

This study is for healthy preschoolers without food allergies or medications that influence behavior, learning, or appetite. It aims to understand how different types of meals affect children's hunger and fullness.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial compares the effects of high-satiety foods versus usual diet on preschoolers' feelings of hunger and fullness, salivary ghrelin levels (a hormone related to hunger), and learning outcomes in a controlled lab setting.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves normal dietary foods with no medicinal interventions, side effects are not expected beyond potential changes in perceived hunger or fullness after eating test meals.
