Tasting Plant Forward Meals Study

This study is looking at how different combinations of vegetables, specifically the amount and type of potato, affect how much you like and eat other non-starchy vegetables in a meal. Researchers want to see if changing the potato in a meal impacts your intake and enjoyment of other vegetables. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 25 years old and do not have food allergies to the study foods. The study will measure how much you like non-starchy vegetables and how much you eat them after trying different meal combinations. The current status of this study is unclear, but it plans to enroll 80 participants.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 80 participants. It will involve consuming different vegetable combinations as part of lunch meals.
What's involved
You would consume 5 consecutive lunch meals, each separated by at least one week. This process would take approximately 5 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your liking of non-starchy vegetables and total non-starchy vegetable intake will be measured at the beginning and after each meal condition, which is approximately 5 weeks.
