Single Serving Portion Sized Meals and Weight Management

SSPSM: Compliance (2014)

• 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.

    • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
    • Grade II is Fair;
    • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
    • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
    • Grade V is Not Assignable.
    • 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.
