It was thought that the extra fibre provided by the carrot would make the carrot-bread lunches the most filling.
Instead, the tomato bread was the most satisfying, a nutritional conference in France heard.
Researcher Dr Julie Lovegrove, of Reading University, said: ‘They were given the sandwiches in a random order and we recorded how full they said they were.
‘It was a small study, and we can’t yet say what the crucial tomato ingredient is, but the results were statistically significant.’
Further research will focus on whether eating tomatoes alters levels of appetite-regulating hormones, including ghrelin.
