Changing from a mixed diet to a Scandinavian vegetarian diet: effects on nutrient intake, food choice, meal pattern and cooking methods

Article Abstract:

A study was done on the effects of nutrient intake, food choice, meal pattern and cooking methods to evaluate their implications in the planned shift from a mixed diet to the Scandinavian lactovegetarian diet. Results show that a shift in diet will lead to a decrease in fat and protein intake and an increase in total carbohydrate and fibre intake. In addition, the change in consumption of various food items, nutrient intake and food preparation methods influence the changes observed in meal patterns.

Subjective and objective indices of the satiating effect of foods. Can people predict how filling a food will be?

Article Abstract:

A subjective assessment of savoury high-fat, savoury high-carbohydrate, sweet high-fat, and sweet high-carbohydrate snacks shows that sweet high-fat type is more filling than other types of snacks. However, it is similar to the other snacks in pleasantness. Results of actual consumption indicate that sweet high-fat snacks result in a higher energy intake as compared to other snacks. This may be attributed to the energy density along with the sweetness of the sweet high-fat snacks.
