This exploratory study only included a small number of participants, all of whom were young and healthy.
Furthermore, the influence of BMI on gastric emptying could not be investigated properly due to mostly normal weight participants.
Although procured from the same restaurants, the composition of the meals varied slightly.
Moreover, only the gastric content volume was assessed by MRI, and not intestinal filling, too, as suggested by Tröger et al. [10], as reliable assessment of intestinal filling by MRI was not possible.
