Energy Metabolism and Eating Behavior in Underweight and Normal-weight Individuals
Sponsor: Jose Galgani
Summary
This study evaluates eating behavior and metabolic responses following consumption of a high-fat high-energy meal in healthy underweight and normal-weight adults. The primary research question is: Do healthy underweight individuals exhibit different eating and metabolic responses compared with normal-weight adults following consumption of a high-fat high-energy meal?

High-fat high-energy meal
Following an overnight fast, participants will consume a standardized high-fat high-energy meal under controlled laboratory conditions. During the subsequent postprandial period, appetite sensations, energy expenditure, circulating biomarkers, and food intake will be assessed. Food intake will be evaluated using an ad libitum meal test consisting of two sequential phases involving foods with different sensory and nutritional characteristics.
