Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Food intake	120 minutes	Food intake (kCal) is assessed 120 min after consumption of the treatments, using an ad libitum pizza lunch design. Participants are asked to eat, during a 20-min period, until feeling comfortably full

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Blood glucose	0 to 120 min (pre-ad libitum lunch) and 140 to 260 min (post-ad libitum lunch) after consumption of treatments	Blood glucose (mmol/L) is measured using finger prick capillary blood samples
Perceived satiety	120 minutes	Satiety scores (mm) are assessed using 100-mm "Motivation to Eat" visual analog scale questionnaires. A composite score of the four appetite questions, including Desire to Eat, Hunger, Fullness and Prospective Food Consumption, in the "Motivation to Eat" visual analog scale is calculated to obtain the average appetite score for statistical analysis
Blood insulin	0 to 120 min (pre-ad libitum lunch) and 140 to 260 min (post-ad libitum lunch) after consumption of treatments	Blood insulin (μU/mL) is measured using finger prick capillary blood samples
