Breakfast and Energy Expenditure in Young Women

The Effect of Breakfast Intake on Energy Expenditure and Hunger in Young Women

The purpose of this research is to determine if body composition influence the effect of breakfast composition on postprandial (post-meal) hunger, metabolic and energy expenditure response in normal weight, overweight, and obese young women.

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Normal Weight; This group will be administered two breakfast beverages with a one- to two-week washout period between beverages. The beverages will be a control or an isocaloric, macronutrient matched breakfast beverage with omega-3 fatty acids.
