In this crossover study 10 boys and 16 girls aged 3 to 5 were served manipulated breakfasts, lunches, and afternoon snacks 2 d/wk for 2 wk. Children consumed a consistent weight of foods and beverages over 2 d in both conditions, and therefore their energy consumption declined by 389 +/- 72 kcal (14%) in the lower-ED condition. Children’s energy intake is influenced by the ED of foods and beverages served over multiple days. These results strengthen the evidence that reducing the ED of the diet is an effective strategy for moderating children’s energy intake.
