Children's Intake of Foods Reduced in Energy Density

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Vegetable Intake
• Interventions: Other: Energy density feeding study

• Registration Number: NCT01252433
• Lead Sponsor: Penn State University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to investigate children's responses to incorporating vegetables into selected entrees and snacks over several days. The hypothesis is that children will increase their vegetable intake by consuming foods that have been reduced in energy density through the addition of vegetables. Effects on energy intake will also be examined.
