NCT ID NCT07257692
First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether taking a survey before or after a meal changes how people report their appetite and eating habits. 33 healthy adults completed questionnaires about their eating behaviors and weekly appetite, both before breakfast and 90 minutes after. The goal was to see if the timing of the survey affects the results, which could help improve how researchers measure eating behaviors in future studies.
