Eating low-calorie soup before a meal can help cut back on how much food and calories you eat at the meal, a new Penn State study shows. Results show that when participants in the study ate a first course of soup before a lunch entree, they reduced their total calorie intake at lunch (soup + entre) by 20 percent, compared to when they did not eat soup. This study expands on previous studies about consuming lower-calorie soup as a way to reduce food intake, said co-author Barbara Rolls, who holds the Guthrie Chair of Nutrition at Penn State.
