Energy density of the diet and change in body fatness from childhood to adolescence : is there a relation?
McCaffrey, T.A.; Rennie, K.L.; Kerr, M.A.; Wallace, J.M.; Hannon-Fletcher, M.P.; Coward, W.A.; Jebb, S.A.; Livingstone, M.B.E. (2008)Background: The contribution of energy density (ED) of the total diet to increased risk of obesity from childhood into adolescence is unclear. Objective: We assessed the relation between the ED of the diet in childhood, ... -
Increased portion size leads to a sustained increase in energy intake over 4 days in normal weight and overweight men and women
Kelly, M.T.; Wallace, J.M.; Robson, P.J.; Rennie, K.L.; Welch, R.W.; Hannon-Fletcher, M.P.; Brennan, S.; Fletcher, A.; Livingstone, M.B.E.
