Do Calories Affect our Choices in Food?

Will knowledge change behavior? Apparently not, when it comes to what we order when we eat out! New research published in the Journal of Community Health concluded (after a review of 31 studies) calorie levels don’t affect our choices when it comes to reducing the number of calories we order. Interestingly, women, those dieting and upper-income diners pay the most attention to what restaurants tell us about calorie counts on their menus, but overall – not a change-maker when it comes to impact! Maybe we just need to go back to red, yellow and green signal indicators???
