Difference in Pizza Consumed During Two Meals

The Visual Analogue scale allows you to mark a vertical line across the horizontal scale on how hungry you are or not. The Visual Analogue scale was used to evaluate hunger, fullness, longing for food, prospective intake, satisfaction, desire for salty food, desire for savory food, thirst, and desire for sweet food. The scale ranged from 0 to 100mm; the higher values indicated greater outcomes.
