Brief summary
The investigators hypothesize that television viewing will affect food intake in adolescent girls, and will depend on pubertal stage. Food intake will be measured at 30 min following a glucose(1 g of glucose/kg body weight) or sweetened noncaloric beverage with or without the presence of TV. Subjective appetite will be measured as well.
