Detailed description

* To investigate whether there are any differences in appetite responses following a texture modified meal compared to a standard meal. * To investigate whether protein-enriched versions of a texture modified meal and/or standard meal affects satiety and subsequent intake in healthy older adults. * To investigate the effects of a texture modified diet, standard diet and their protein-enriched versions on gastric emptying in healthy older adults.

• Older Adults

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Preload meals that are solid or texture modified and are fortified with protein or not fortified with protein	Immediately after consuming the preload meal, volunteers will use a 100mm visual analogue scale (VAS) to rate their liking towards the meal, their hunger, fullness, desire to eat and prospective food intake.
