Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lunch time food intake | 1 day | Measure calories consumed at lunch time. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale Ratings | 1 day | They will be asked to rate their feelings of hunger and fullness periodically using visual analog scales. The Egg Breakfast is expected to increase satiety scores, decrease hunger and the lunch time food intake, compared to the Bagel Breakfast. |
| Blood appetite hormone | 1 day | We expect that Peptide YY (PYY) and Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP1) levels will rise higher and remain elevated after the Egg Breakfast, and the acylated ghrelin levels will rise higher between the Bagle Breakfast and lunch time. |
