Mean VAS scores (± SEM) during the three test days, n = 54. (a) VAS-rated hunger, (b) VAS-rated satiety, (c) VAS-rated prospective food consumption, (d) VAS-rated amount of food that could be consumed, (e) VAS-rated desire for a sugary snack. A light breakfast was served at 08.00 h, immediately after recording baseline VAS scores. Lunch was served at 12.00 h. Repeated measures indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between white, red and black plates (P > 0.05)
