The effects of sucrose and oil preloads were explicitly compared in a single-blind controlled trial using a between-subjects design. Eighty adult subjects (forty-three male, thirty-seven female) aged 18–50 years received at 11.00 hours one of four yoghurt preloads. All were 80 g low-fat, unsweetened yoghurt (188 kJ), containing additionally (1) saccharin (control, 23 kJ), or (2) 40 g sucrose (859 kJ), (3) 40 g maize oil (1569 kJ), (4) 20 g sucrose, 20 g maize oil (1213 kJ). Subjects were normal eaters and of normal weight (male mean weight: 68·8 (sd 3·2) kg, BMI 21·8 (sd 1·6) kg/m2; female mean weight: 53·7 (sd 5·1) kg, BMI 20·4 (sd 1·2) kg/m2). Food intake was measured with a food diary and mood with ten single Likert scales. ANOVA was conducted using preload type (saccharin, sucrose, oil, sucrose + oil), sex (male, female) and early v. late breakfast times as factors. Mood was analysed using the same design, with time of rating (immediate, 60 min, 120 min) as an additional factor. Men ate more after the saccharin preload than after the other preloads, but did not vary the time of their next solid food. Women increased the intermeal interval only after the oil preload, which also had the highest energy content value, but did not vary the energy content of their next solid food. The saccharin preload decreased rated tiredness at 2 h compared with the sucrose preload, possibly due to its lower energy content. The preloads containing sucrose or sucrose + oil increased calmness between 1 and 2 h afterwards, compared with the saccharin preload. It is concluded that both sucrose and oil increase the intermeal interval in men, but that women are less sensitive to preloading. The mood effects suggest that tiredness after carbohydrate at 2 h may in part be a decrease in rated energy compared with the increased rated energy found after a preload with low energy content. Carbohydrate may genuinely increase calmness. These effects apply to non-restrained eaters of normal weight.
