Seed-Packed lunch: a simple trick to curb hunger?
NCT ID NCT07146958
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding chia or hemp seeds to lunch foods like soup and bread changes how much people eat and how full they feel. Twenty-four adults will eat seed-enriched or plain meals and rate their hunger, satisfaction, and desire for different foods. The goal is to find easy recipe tweaks that might promote health and fullness.
