Dear beman,

since I suggested #2 in a comment to the BE-GL, you may guess which one is my favorite.

• Con: Since period effects are not accounted for in the design, standardization is crucial.
  
• Pro:  If you are not sure about the CV, you could go with a Two-Stage Design and – if a second stage is necessary and CVs in fasting/fed states are different – use different sample sizes.
