Cookie snack
Bowls containing 80 g (390 kcal) of cookie pieces were set on
the placemat. Each time the participant ate 10 g of cookie pieces,
the SIPM software interrupted the participant with instructions to
complete VAS ratings as described above for pasta. After consuming
60 g, participants were interrupted and provided with a fresh
bowl containing 80 g of cookie pieces. Participants were asked to
eat until they felt ‘comfortably full’. The cookies were Maryland Chocolate
Chip Cookies, with each cookie being broken into 6–7 pieces.
This approach was designed to reduce the likelihood that participants
could track the number of cookies they ate
