Dynamic changes in post-ingestive sensations after consumption of a breakfast meal high in protein or carbohydrate
In this study undertaken in 2019, the aim was to quantify the dynamics of different post-ingestive sensations after eating as well as to study the effect of protein and carbohydrate on hedonic (pleasant/unpleasant) and post-ingestive responses. Using a randomised controlled crossover design, forty-eight participants (mean age 20.4) had a high in protein (HighPRO) or high in carbohydrate (HighCHO) breakfast on two separate days. Post-ingestive sensations were then reported every 30 minutes for three hours following consumption. The results indicated HighCHO, in comparison to HighPRO, induced greater hedonic responses and scored higher ratings for post-ingestive sensations such as satisfaction, food joy, overall wellbeing, and fullness. Although, HighPRO achieved higher ratings for sweet desire post intake. Also a significant main effect of time was demonstrated for all post-ingestive sensations. The study proposes the development of sensations post-meal might be crucial for the consumers’ food choices and for extra calorie intake.
