Energy intake after oral administration of a protein dose (300 mg/kg BW). Orally digested samples from insect, beef, or almond were administered to rats. Food intake was measured at three different intervals: 3 h (A), 12 h (B), and 20 h (C) after the beginning of the dark cycle. The control was an equivalent volume of tap water. The sample size was n = 10 rats per group. The results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test were used for multiple comparisons. Different letters (a,b,c) indicate significant differences (p-values < 0.05).The circle, square, and triangle means feeding with different source of proteins.
