Describe the logic and methodology of “preloading" studies, as a strategy for determining factors that influence satiety, the reduced willingness to eat (lower “hunger” or “appetite”) following a meal. Use an example from research (either human or animal) to illustrate how this method has demonstrated the impact of a specific food characteristic (e.g. the food’s color, or taste, or macronutrient composition) on satiety. Additionally, can preloading studies be used to investigate the impact of non-biological (e.g. social or psychological) influences on satiety? If yes, describe a hypothetical study to test the impact of such an influence. If not, explain why.
