Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: The consumption of a shake containing cashew nuts and Brazil nuts will increase the postprandial metabolic rate (accessed by calorimetry), by at least 5% compared to the control (shake without NUTs). All analyzes will be performed at the end of the study.;Expected outcome 2: The consumption of a shake containing cashew nuts and Brazil nuts will reduce appetite and increase satiety (evaluated by means of questionnaires of Visual Analog Scale), contributing to a reduction in habitual food intake (assessed through dietary records), compared to the control (shake without NUTs). All analyzes will be performed at the end of the study.;Expected outcome 3: The consumption of a shake containing cashew nuts and Brazil nuts will increase the total plasma oxidizing capacity and will reduce oxidative stress (assessed by plasma markers: CAT, SOD, GPx), compared to the control (shake without NUTs). All analyzes will be performed at the end of the study. | — |
