TI  - Effect of meal macronutrient and energy content on human performance.
PG  - 97-111
AB  - The effects of planned meals, varying in carbohydrate (CHO), fat and caloric 
      content, on psychomotor performance by male subjects with unrestricted access to 
      commercially-available foods was investigated in two residential studies. In the 
      first study, two groups of three subjects (n = 6) completed psychomotor tasks 
      before and after consuming a lunch consisting of 431 or 844 kcal, with caloric 
      differences produced through covert changes in either fat or CHO content. The 
      effects of each of four lunch conditions (low-fat, high-fat, low-CHO, high-CHO) 
      were determined for three consecutive days. In the second study, two groups of 
      three subjects (n = 6) received breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack and 
      completed psychomotor tasks after breakfast and lunch. Cumulative caloric content 
      of the three eating occasions was approximately 700, 1200 or 1700 kcal (low, 
      medium or high), again with differences resulting from covert changes primarily 
      in either fat or CHO content. The effects of each of six food conditions were 
      determined for two consecutive days. While changes in some aspects of performance 
      were altered after meals, the effects were not related to the CHO, fat or caloric 
      content of the meal. When subjects have unrestricted access to 
      commercially-available foods, neither calories nor the relative fat or CHO 
      content of normal meals influence human psychomotor task performance.
