Table 3.
Snack intake by snack type, serving method, and subject sex (mean ± SEM)
| Intake measure | Snack type | Women (n = 16) | Men (n = 12) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Serving method | Serving method | ||||
| Bowl | Bag | Bowl | Bag | ||
| Weight (g)1 | Less-aerated | 52.7 ± 6.9 | 49.2 ± 7.5 | 61.1 ± 6.2 | 70.8 ± 7.2 |
| More-aerated | 40.1 ± 3.1 | 37.7 ± 2.6 | 52.6 ± 5.6 | 54.4 ± 6.6 | |
| Energy (kcal)1 | Less-aerated | 301 ± 39 | 281 ± 43 | 349 ± 36 | 404 ± 41 |
| More-aerated | 229 ± 18 | 215 ± 15 | 301 ± 32 | 311 ± 38 | |
| Volume (ml)2 | Less-aerated | 300 ± 39 | 279 ± 42 | 347 ± 35 | 402 ± 41 |
| More-aerated | 501 ± 39 | 471 ± 32 | 658 ± 70 | 680 ± 82 | |
For the outcomes of snack weight and energy, there was a significant main effect of snack type (energy consumed was greater for the less-aerated snack; p = 0.0003) and subject sex (energy consumed was greater for men; p = 0.034). The effect of serving method and the interactions of these factors were not significant.
For the outcome of snack volume, there was a significant main effect of snack type (volume consumed was greater for the more-aerated snack; p <0.0001) and subject sex (volume consumed was greater for men; p = 0.019). The effect of serving method and the interactions of these factors were not significant.
