Brief summary

This study aims to investigate the interactions and effects of salt and fat on ad libitum intake. The objective is to quantify the contributions of different concentrations of salt and fat in food on satiation in humans classified according to fatty acid taste sensitivity. Fifty participants, aged 18-60 will participate in the study and consume a lunch either low or high in salt and low or high in fat after a fixed breakfast, on four different testing days. Participants will be classified according to fatty acid taste sensitivity, which will be assessed in two different sessions.
