The allulose, sucralose, and stevia component of the treatment will be matched for sweetness. The dose of allulose will be confirmed in another study that will be completed prior to the start of the present study. The allulose, sucralose and stevia component of the treatment will be consumed 15 minutes prior to the breakfast meal, followed by the meal being consumed within 30 minutes. After treatment consumption, energy expenditure measurements via indirect calorimetry will be collected in 30-min increments (30-min measurement, 30-min rest) for 5 hours. Blood glucose will be measured at baseline and continuously for 5 hours via the Freestyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitoring system.
