What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Lunch time food intake
Time Frame: 1 day
Measure calories consumed at lunch time.
1 day

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Analog Scale Ratings
Time Frame: 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.
1 day
Blood appetite hormone
Time Frame: 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.
1 day
