Joanne Slavin PhD. RD., the study’s author and a professor at the University of Minnesota, said, “Previous studies on mushrooms suggest that they can be more satiating than meat; this effect had not been studied with protein-matched.amounts until now.”
For 10 days, the 17 women and 15 men who participated in the study were given two servings of sliced-mushroom or 93 percent lean/7 percent of fat ground beef meat. In regard to the portions, the sizes had similar protein and calorie counts.
The research found that those consuming a mushroom-rich breakfast experienced less hunger, greater fullness and decreased prospective consumption compared to those eating meat, showing a significant difference in satiety ratings.
"This new study adds to a growing body of evidence that suggests mushrooms may aid weight management and satiety, and thus contribute to overall wellness," said Mary Jo Feeney, the nutrition research coordinator of Mushroom Council, a US-based organization of fresh mushroom producers. (jes/kes)
