Regular Consumption of a Balanced Salmon-Based Salty Snack Does Not Affect Energy Intake, Body Composition and Biochemical Parameters in Healthy Volunteers

摘要: An inverse relationship between meal frequency and body weight has been observed in several studies: however, little information is available on the effects of a snack consumption energy and nutrient intakes adults. In this study, 19 healthy volunteers consumed daily for 3 weeks, cross-over design, one two isocaloric snacks (bread with salmon spread or bread salami). Diet composition, anthropometrics, blood pressure, lipid fatty acid profiles, fasting plasma glucose levels high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) were assessed at beginning the study before after each dietary period. The inclusion of mid afternoon standard pattern (breakfast, lunch, dinner) was associated significant reduction intake dinner (the being larger prepared salmon spread); the total caloric intake, not changed by consumption, since fully compensated lower dinner intake. No change been observed any measured biochemical anthropometric parameters, even if trend toward hs-CRP more favourable HUFA index spread consumption. These observations indicate that regular a balanced no adverse and biochemical parameters adults moderately active lifestyle; the results, in different distributions among meals. composition (salmon salami) may further influence these effects.
