The purpose of a satiety panel is to explore feelings of fullness and hunger after consuming a test product (food, food ingredient, dietary supplement, etc). We considered 5,264 people for a satiety panel breakfast meal. Recruitment methods included email, phone calls, internet posts, surveys, and flyers posted in high traffic areas. The trial involved 5 visits to our research site to consume 5 different breakfast meals composed of orange juice, a breakfast bar and yogurt. Subjects were required to respond to questionnaires within specified time limits. Of the 63 enrolled, 16 were withdrawn due to non‐compliance with study protocol. A total of 47 people completed all five visits with questionnaires completed within the time allotted. Recruitment difficulties were related to lack of a treatment benefit (this was a food not a therapeutic offering), travel time and distance from the research site, schedule conflicts, unresponsiveness, and ineligibility per exclusion criteria. The high retention rate added to the success of the satiety panel and was affected by the efforts of study staff to contact subjects to ensure completion of questionnaires. This study was supported by a consumer products company.
