Table 3. Amount of ice cream selected (number scoops ± s.e.) after each of the two feeding patterns by NW and OB children at the first and second servings and as the total of both selections.

Group (serving) Three feedings Five feedings Differential
NW (first) 3.28 ± 0.25 2.94 ± 0.29 0.33 ± 0.37
OB (first) 3.29 ± 0.21 3.18 ± 0.27 0.12 ± 0.21
NW (second) 1.39 ± 0.36 1.28 ± 0.33 0.11 ± 0.27
OB (second) 1.29 ± 0.37 2.12 ± 0.39* −0.82 ± 0.33**
NW (total) 4.67 ± 0.52 4.22 ± 0.48 0.44 ± 0.47
OB (total) 4.59 ± 0.52 5.29 ± 0.63 −0.71 ± 0.45

NW, normal weight; OB, obese.

Differential amounts were determined by subtracting the selected amount after five feedings from the amount after three feedings. P values were determined by two-factor linear mixed model analysis (weight group and feeding pattern and group × pattern interaction).

*

P < 0.05 compared to three feeding pattern.

**

P < 0.05 compared to NW by Bonferroni post-test.
