How feeling food is unpredictable affects eating and metabolism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your thoughts about food—like whether you think meals will be predictable—might change how much you eat and how your body burns energy. You'll attend study visits, eat provided meals, and answer questionnaires.
