Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Thermogenesis[Thermogenesis will be determined by indirect calorimetry using a clear plastic ventilated hood and the TrueOne metabolic monitor for 40 minutes from 0800h and then for 3 hrs after the consumption of the experimental preload.];Macronutrient and total energy intake at the buffet meal.[The buffet meal will be presented at t=180 minutes, and the subject will be allowed to freely consume food until confortably full for 30 minutes until t=210. Macronutrient and total energy intake will be analysed using the FoodWorks software program.]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Antropyloroduodenal motility[Using a manometri assembly and catheter, Antropyloroduodenal pressures will be continously monitored after the consumption of the preload from t=-15 until t=180 min.]
