Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Each participant participated in 3 sessions in total with a minimum of 2 days between each session. Two flavoured milk-based preload drinks differing in carbohydrate and protein were administered 120 min before an ad libitum test meal. A water control was also administered.

Each subject was provided with a standardised breakfast to consume 3 h before coming to the laboratory and only water is permitted thereafter. Upon arrival at the laboratory, a cannula was placed into a vein in the subject's arm for repeated blood draws. Subject was given a preload drink to consume within 5 min. Subjects completed some questionnaires to assess their feelings of appetite and had 8 blood samples (10 ml each) collected within 120 min. At the end of the 120 min, the cannula was removed and subjects were provided with a hot meal and water to consume until satisfied within 15 min.

The time involvement for each subject on each session day was at least 170 min and there are 3 sessions, therefore 510 min.

The 300 ml preload drinks used a sweet flavoured milky solution as a base to which 45 g of either maltodextrin, a carbohydrate with a simple structure or cheese whey protein isolate will be added. All the ingredients in the preload drinks are natural food-grade materials normally consumed in foods. The amount of carbohydrate and protein in 300 ml of the carbohydrate-enriched preload drink was 72 g and 3 g, respectively. The whey protein-enriched preload drink contributed 26 g carbohydrate and 46 g protein per 300 ml drink.

Summary
Brief summary
It is widely accepted that protein is the most satiating macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate and fat). The objective of the study is to compare the satiety responses (subsequent food intake, feelings of appetite and circulating concentrations of satiety-related hormones and metabolites) to carbohydrate and protein preloads administered 120 min prior to a test meal in healthy young normal-weight women. A water control was also used. We hypothesise that consumption of the protein preload will result in a reduction in subsequent food intake and rated feelings of appetite and an increase in plasma levels of satiety-related hormones and metabolites.
