Effect of food service form on eating rate: meal served as a separated form might lower eating rate

In this study, we investigated the association between food form (mixed vs separated) and eating rate. The experiment used a within-subjects design (n=29, young healthy women with normal weight). Test meals (white rice and side dishes) with the same content and volume were served at lunch as a mixed or separated form. The form in which the food was served had significant effects on consumption volume and eating rate; subjects ate significantly more (〞p〞＜0.05) when a test meal was served as a mixed form (284.7 g, 574.8 kcal) compared to a separated form (243.5 g, 491.62 kcal). Moreover, subjects also ate significantly faster (〞p〞＜0.05) when the test meal was served as a mixed form (16.2 g/min) as compared to a separated form (22.4 g/min). Despite consuming more when the test meal was served as a mixed form than when served as a separated form, the subjects did not feel significantly fuller. In conclusion, we confirmed that meals served in a separated form might lower the eating rate, and moreover, slower eating might be associated with less energy intake, without compromising satiety.
