Year: 2026

Type: dataset

Abstract: This dataset is from a 1991 study examining how yogurt preloads varying in macronutrient composition affect appetite and psychological state in with inpatients from the Johns Hopkins Hospital Eating Disorder Unit and healthy community controls. Inpatients completed three counterbalanced sessions on alternating days during the first week of their hospital admission. At each session, participants received consumed one of three yogurt preloads for lunch–high fat, high carbohydrate, or low fat/low carbohydrate—followed by dinner. Visual analog scales (VAS) were used to assess hunger, fullness, desire to eat, how much they thought they could eat (i.e., prospective consumption), bloatedness, fear of becoming fat, desire to binge and purge, alertness, guilt, depression, contentment, and nausea before and after the yogurt preload, every 60 minutes between the preload and dinner (four times), and before and after dinner. Intake was measured by weighing foods before and after the consumption.
