Eating in the absence of hunger in adolescents: intake after a large-array meal compared with that after a standardized meal123

摘要

Background: Eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) is typically assessed by measuring youths’ intake of palatable snack foods after a standard meal designed to reduce hunger. Because energy intake required to reach satiety varies among individuals, a standard meal may not ensure the absence of hunger among participants of all weight strata.
