Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
satiety hunger assessment (visual analogue scale)just before taking the product, just after taking the product, 30, 60 , 90, 120, 180, 240 min and 260 min after taking the product)visual analogue scale to assessment satiety and hunger will be picked up in 9 time points to calculate the area under the curve to get a score
