A recent study was conducted to observe how the perception of amount of food consumed effects subsequent hunger and calories consumed in following meals. Participants were given a three egg omelet for breakfast but told it was made with either two or four eggs. When told their omelet was made with two eggs, participants reported greater hunger sooner after breakfast and consumed more food throughout the rest of the day. The opposite was observed when participants were told the omelet was made with four eggs. Researchers were also able to collect blood samples of participants and found that the difference in hunger and calories was not due to ghrelin, an appetite stimulating hormone. Although more research is being done, it may have you thinking a little more about how much food you have actually eaten to better judge future choices!
