Was that the hypothesis of the study? Interesting. Probabaly, you have shown which is common sense that you eat less on food which is high in fiber and more satiating.

In reply to Anna Hall. Hi Anna, Doing this study with a calorie-matched comparison would also be interesting. However, this study shows that people tend to overeat on processed foods. This study has more real-life application (e.g. people have ad libitum intake).

I don’t think a remarkable finding as the ultra processed food group consumed more calories. I think it would have been more interesting if calories were matched in both groups. I don’t believe there would have been a difference between the groups in weight gain if calories were matched. Of course the aspect of a healthy diet, consuming the sufficient amount of micronutrients fibre etc is not taking into consideration answering that hypothesis.
