Clark SL, et al. - In this investigation, researchers assessed the impact of replacing wheat and rice with two lentil varieties within muffins and chilies on satiety, test-meal food intake, and 24-hour energy intake. In two randomized crossover studies, healthy adults were asked to consume muffins or chilies in which wheat or rice was replaced with green (61.8 g) or red (54 g) lentils (muffin study: n=24, mean ± SE age: 25.4 ± 0.9 years, body mass index, kg/m²: 23.2 ± 0.5; chili study: n=24, age: 25.7 ± 1.0 years, body mass index, kg/m²: 23.2 ± 0.5). In all, replacing rice with green (but not red lentils) within chili increased satiety but did not reduce food intake. In addition, replacing wheat with lentils within muffins did not increase satiety or reduce food intake among healthy adults.
