*2.2. General Procedures*

The procedures' timeline is shown in Figure A1. In the current study, we aimed to examine AB to rewarding food cues in the absence of physiological hunger. This is based on evidence pointing to the interaction between physiological hunger and food reward, cravings, and attention bias to food cues [28,46–49]. We therefore asked the participants to follow preparatory guidelines before arriving at the lab. The guidelines included a dietary menu to follow 24-h before they arrive at the lab. Participants arrived between 9 a.m.–12 p.m. on the day of the study, following an overnight fast (starting at 8 p.m. the night before), except for water or unsweetened hot beverages [50]. Adherence to these guidelines was assessed with a nutritionist upon arrival to the study. At the lab, participants' weight was measured with a Charder scale (MS4900), and they filled out several questionnaires about their eating behavior (see Section 2.3. Psycho-Behavioral Questionnaires below). Thereafter, they were provided with a standardized breakfast composed of bland food, totaling 640 calories, 43 g of protein, and 27 g of fat. The purpose of the dietary preparation was to standardize hunger and control for metabolic variations between the participants, and by providing the bland breakfast we aimed to intensify their cravings for highly rewarding food cues [47,49,51]. Following breakfast, participants were escorted to a room where EEG recordings and a Food Stroop task were conducted (see below).
