Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how eating different snack foods affects long term hunger and gut health in healthy adults. The study will be conducted remotely over 7 weeks. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does eating a snack bar intervention for 5-weeks change how hungry participants feel throughout the day compared to a control? 2. Does eating a snack bar intervention change gut microbiome, bowel habits, digestive symptoms, and other health measures compared to a control over 5 weeks? Researchers will compare an intervention snack bar to a control snack bar to see if the intervention improves hunger, gut microbiome, digestive symptoms and other health measures. Participants will: * Eat 2 snack bars in place of their usual snacks every day for 4 weeks * Complete health measurements at the start and end of the study: a health questionnaire, 3-day food diary, 3-day hunger \& satiety survey, body measurements, and a stool sample * Fill out a short online survey (under 5 minutes) once a week
