This study is looking at how nutritious foods affect inflammation in the brain (hypothalamus) of children, and if providing these foods is practical and acceptable for children who are overweight or have obesity. Specifically, in one part of the study, children will receive all their meals for 7 days, consisting of nutritious foods with more calories than they need, and they'll be asked to eat as much as they want. The main goal is to measure changes in brain inflammation using an MRI scan after 7 days of this diet. You might be able to join if you are a child aged 9-11 years, and depending on the study part, your BMI (Body Mass Index) may need to be between the 85th and 95th percentile, or your family might qualify for free or reduced-cost lunch in Washington State. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 75 participants.
