This study was planned to observe the acute effects of minimally processed and ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption on appetite in participants with normal body mass index (BMI) \[BMI: 18.5-24.99 kg/m2\] and overweight-obese (BMI \> 25 kg/m2) according to the NOVA (not an abbreviation) classification and to compare the postprandial effects of minimally processed and UPF consumption on appetite in normal and overweight-obese individuals. The study was designed as a non-randomized controlled, crossover study. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a breakfast consisting of UPF affect appetite regulation differently compared to a breakfast consisting of unprocessed or minimally processed foods? * Do the effects of foods with different levels of processing on appetite regulation vary by BMI? Researchers will evaluate the effects of a breakfast containing unprocessed or minimally processed foods and a breakfast containing ultra-processed foods, which are similar in terms of energy and macronutrients, on appetite regulation. Participants will: * 1st experiment day: come to the laboratory where the experiment will be conducted at 8:00 am on an empty stomach and consume a breakfast containing unprocessed or minimally processed foods (chicken egg (boiled), white cheese (full-fat), black and green olive, tomato, cucumber, white bread, orange juice (freshly squeezed). * 2nd experiment (after 2 weeks wash-out from 1st experiment): come to the laboratory where the experiment will be conducted at 8:00 am on an empty stomach and consume a breakfast containing ultra-processed food (packaged sandwich bread, beef sausage (pan-fried without oil), tomato ketchup, packaged orange juice).

Changes in appetite-related hormones
Timeframe: At both the traditional breakfast and ultra-processed breakfast, blood samples were collected at the start of the both breakfasts and subsequently at the 30th, 60th, 90th, and 120th minutes.
Changes in visual analogue scale score
Timeframe: At both the traditional breakfast and ultra-processed breakfast, visual analogue scale was filled at the start of the both breakfasts and subsequently at the 30th, 60th, 90th, and 120th minutes.
