Short-term (<1 d) studies on pulses, satiety, and appetite and subsequent energy intake responses1

Reference n BMI, kg/m2 Meals Meals matched for Measurement duration, h Satiety effect? Subsequent ad libitum energy intake effect?
Leathwood and Pollet (56), study 1 6 14.5–30.4 Hachis parmentier (shepherd’s Pie) topped with either bean puree or potato puree Energy 4 Bean < potato (P < 0.10 for hunger at min 180)2 Not measured
Leathwood and Pollet (56), study 2 6 19.2–27.2 Hachis parmentier (shepherd’s Pie) topped with either bean puree or potato puree Energy 4 Bean > potato (stomach fullness at min 240); Bean < potato (hunger and desire to eat “something tasty” at mins 180 and 240)2 Not measured
Holt et al. (79) 11 24.3 ± 3.1 (SD) Canned lentils, canned baked beans, other foods Energy 2 Fish > lentils and baked beans; baked beans = eggs > white bread Not measured
Sparti et al. (57) 14 19–25 High- vs. low-unavailable carbohydrate breakfast, lunch, and dinner; included pulses in lunch and dinner Energy, macronutrients 24 High unavailable > low unavailable at lunch and dinner Not measured
Johnson et al. (62) 11 24.7 ± 0.8 (SEM) Bread made with conventionally processed chickpea flour vs. extruded chickpea flour (more subject to retrogradation) Available carbohydrate, fat 2 NS NS
Pai et al. (44) 32 16–31 Traditional Indian (Asian) breakfasts: Rice-pulse vs. rice based vs. wheat based Energy 2 Rice-pulse > all others Not measured
Wong et al. (60), study 1 14 20–25 Canned beans, homemade beans vs. glucose Available carbohydrate 2 Homemade beans > glucose (Pizza meal) Canned < homemade and glucose
Wong et al. (60), study 2 14 20–25 Canned: maple, pork, and molasses, or tomato sauce vs. homemade: pork and molasses vs. white bread Available carbohydrate 2 Homemade > white bread (P = 0.09) (Pizza meal) N = no
Wong et al. (60), study 3 15 20–25 Pulse variety: chickpeas, lentils, navy beans, yellow peas vs. white bread vs. water Energy 2 All pulse varieties = white bread > water (Pizza meal) All varieties = white bread; chickpeas = water

All studies were performed in healthy adults (no chronic disease) ≤ 45 y of age.

Comparisons were planned a priori only for min 180 and 240.
