  2. **Visual analogue scale VAS, 100 mm in length with words anchored at each end, expressing the most positive and the most negative rating, were used to assess Desire to eat, hunger, fullness, and prospective food consumption
  3. Scoring was conducted in the following manner; participants selected a value from 0 to 100 e.g., I am not hungry at all (zero points), I have not been so hungry so far (100 points)
  4. Model 1: In this model, the effect of body fat percentage (PBF %) is adjusted
  5. *** Obtained from General Linear Model (GLM)
  6. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant
