PURENet:-Pulses and Satiation

Details and patient eligibility

About

Pulses have the potential to be positioned as a food for body weight and metabolic control based on their composition, effects on rate of digestion and absorption of fat and carbohydrates, and effects on satiety. However, the role of individual pulses incorporated into a mixed meal on regulation of food intake, satiety and glycaemic control remains unclear. Therefore, the objective of our study was to determine the effects of ad libitum consumption of pulse meals (treatments) on food intake at an ad libitum pulse meal, food intake at an ad libitum pizza meal at four hours, subjective appetite and blood glucose.

Pasta, tomato sauce & added chickpeas

Experimental group

Description:

The pulse treatments and control (pasta with tomato sauce) were made the day before the session and the recipe was calculated to provide 1500 kcal at each session. All meals had the same energy density (\~77kcal/100g). Calories derived from pulses were consistent among all pulse treatments (44%). The pulse treatments and control all contained macaroni pasta and homemade tomato sauce.
