A data-driven approach to quantifying meal characteristics influencing energy intake
Abstract
We used a data-driven approach to determine the influence of energy density, hyper-palatability, protein content, and eating rate on ad libitum non-beverage energy intake during 2733 meals consumed by 35 inpatient adults who participated in two 28-day feeding studies. All four meal characteristics significantly contributed to energy intake, but their relative importance varied by the prevailing dietary pattern according to macronutrient composition and degree of processing.
