Scientists to measure why some people burn more calories after eating
NCT ID NCT07610759
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how 30 healthy adults burn calories in the first three hours after drinking a standardized liquid meal. Researchers will measure energy expenditure before and after the meal to see how much it varies from person to person. The goal is to better understand individual differences in metabolism, which could inform future research on personalized nutrition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Standardized liquid meal (Ensure®)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help explain why people burn calories differently after eating, potentially guiding personalized nutrition advice.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants. It measures short-term effects and does not test any treatment, so it may not lead to direct health changes.
