• Intervention
    In overweight/obese adults (aged 19+ years), what is the effect of consuming single serving portion sized meals on compliance?
    • Conclusion

      Most studies in overweight/obese adults (aged 19+ years and ethnically diverse) reported that consumption of one or more single serving portion sized meals per day as part of a weight management program may result in improved adherence to the diet, achievement of recommended goals, and/or improvements on other measures that may be related to compliance such as improved quality of life, decreased depression, and/or increased feelings of fullness, depending on the nutrition guidelines followed and the single serving portion sized meals chosen. Additional studies in this area are needed.

      • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
      • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
      • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
      • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
      • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
