Food Structure, Eating Rate, and What We Actually Eat Food texture can influence eating rate and energy intake, adding another layer to how we think about processing, food structure, and nutrition. Tags nutrition food structure food texture eating rate protein quality plant protein amino acids DIAAS energy intake functional nutrition
Nutrition in the GLP-1 Era GLP-1 therapy can change appetite and portion size. Nutrition may need to adapt by focusing on nutrient density, protein, fiber and body function.
