Sponsor's own description
Randomised within subjects cross-over study (n=94) exploring the cognitive and physiological processes associated with portion control. Participants will eat a self-served lunch using a portion control plate vs. a conventional (control) plate on two separate occasions under a controlled laboratory environment. Portion size, meal micro-structure, attention, memory and satiety markers will be analysed. The portion control plate is a prototype designed in collaboration with the commercial partner for this study and is based on published evidence. It includes sectors and pictures indicating amounts to serve from starchy food, protein and vegetables. The control plate will be of the same background colour, size and shape but without any pictures or demarcations. The main study outcome is attention time on areas of interest in the plate corresponding to main foods groups, across plate conditions.
