Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a cross-over study and the study will last for 7 days in total as described below
Day 1 (research facility): Placement of CGM and accelerometer
Day 2 (free-living environment): Study Diet 1 (randomised)
Day 3 (free-living environment): Washout (habitual diet)
Day 4 (free-living environment): Study Diet 2 (randomised)
Day 5 (free-living environment): Washout (habitual diet)
Day 6 (free-living environment): Study Diet 3 (randomised)
Day 7 (research facility): Removal of CGM and accelerometer

This trial consists of 3 Study Diets, which includes a control (no nut) and two intervention diets, which are 1) ONE (1 preload of 42g whole almonds consumed with the first meal i.e. breakfast, and 2) PRE-M (14g whole almonds (total 42g) consumed with each of 3 main meals). Each Study Diet will last for 1 day (on Day 2, 4 and 6), with washout between Study Diets on Day 3 and 5.

As part of the study design and to enhance compliance, participants will be provided with all meals on Study Diet days (Day 2, 4 & 6), where meals and intervention foods (weighed whole almonds) will be packed and clearly labelled, so that the participants know when to consume these meals and almonds.
