CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Calorie Reduction is a key nutrition and health strategy for all involved in food provision and public health. But how should we be tackling this? What has been achieved? What has yet to be done and how? What are the challenges and solutions? The response of retail and food suppliers? The impact on prices? What about individual responsibility?
CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF:
- Learn about US-based research, funded through National Institutes of Health (NIH),that evaluated consumer acceptance of “stealth” modifications of restaurant recipes to reduce calories, fat and/or sodium
- Gain an understanding of how this stealth approach can improve public health and provide financial benefits to restaurants
- Discover how this approach can be integrated with other public health improvement strategies for greater impact
- Learn that overeating is not strongly resisted by our biology, but neither is undereating
- Appreciate that energy dense foods encourage overeating because, calorie-for-calorie, they have low satiating power, and relatedly they are highly palatable
- Discover that choosing foods of low to moderate energy density and smaller portions maximises eating pleasure (enjoyment) per calorie
- Learn about the research behind Euromonitor’s Passport Nutrition, including how serving size data is collected
- Understand the discrepancies in serving sizes for similar products, and how these may differ dependent on categories
- Begin to understand ways in which serving sizes may not always serve their purpose, and thereby have an indirect negative effect on health
