Interestingly, a similar increase in ad libitum intake following repeated exposure to LE preloads was observed in a previous study, which aimed to assess the role of food texture in energy learning [13]. In this cross-over study with four conditions, data were collected for 27 subjects who re- peatedly consumed novel foods based on gelatin and starch that were ei- ther LE or HE, and either liquid or semi-solid. Results showed that test meal intake following repeated consumption depended on energy densi- ty of the test foods; adjustments in intake were made independent of vis- cosity of the foods [13]. It will however be interesting to see if sensory manipulations that break the ‘predictive’ relationships (i.e., semi-solid texture predicts a higher satiating capacity [21,22]) affect food intake in a similar manner as described in the studies above, i.e. after both single and repeated exposure. Thus, data of this learning experiment [13] were re-analyzed to investigate the effect of sensory–nutrient incongruence on food intake after repeated exposure.
