Effect of Calorie Information on the Amount of Food Intake

Abstract

Obesity is becoming an important problem for the world and behavior therapies are used for its treatment. Fourthy-one women with mean age±standart deviation of 40,39±11,62 years and Body Mass Index of 29,71±4,98 were enrolled in our study to find out the effect of calorie information of food on the amount of intake for self-monitoring. Participants were given a 45-minute lecture about the energy sources and utilization in human body. An open buffet dinner was served in the same evening following the lecture and a similar one in the following evening. Calorie information of the served meal was not given at the first dinner whereas at the second one 100 grams of all food types were put to plates and their calories were labeled. At both of the open buffet dinners, the participants were allowed to take their preferred meal as much as they like. All the food eaten by each participant was weighted separately and their calories were calculated. At the second dinner, average calorie intake per person decreased about 207,51±129,01 kcal. In conclusion, the participants in our study group preferred to consume foods containing lower calories when they had information about the calories of the food, and therefore they decreased their total calorie intake.
