Energy Content Estimation by Collegians for Portion Standardized Foods Frequently Consumed in Korea

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to estimate Korean collegians' knowledge of energy content in the standard portion size of foods frequently consumed in Korea and to investigate the differences in knowledge between gender groups. A total of 600 collegians participated in this study. Participants' knowledge was assessed based on their estimation on the energy content of 30 selected food items with their actual-size photo images. Standard portion size of food was based on 2010 Korean Dietary Reference Intakes, and t… Show more

“…In general, consumers struggle with calorie estimates and are often woefully inaccurate [ 22 , 37 ]. Similarly, consumers are often inaccurate in assessing product quantity [ 10 , 15 , 33 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. Notably, estimations of calories and quantity tend to be correlated, such that increased quantity and increased calories go hand in hand [ 42 , 43 ].…”

“…Interestingly, prior to any training, 44 overweight adults overestimated the caloric content of standardized foods by 23% (Martin et al, 2007). When 600 college students were asked to estimate the caloric content of 30 photographed foods, 68.8% overestimated the caloric content of vegetables, and 42.0% underestimated the caloric content of grains and starches (Kim et al, 2014). Moreover, caloric mis-estimation may be associated with nutritional content of foods.…”

“…Most studies find an underestimation of calories [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. These effects have been demonstrated in surveys, in the lab, and in the field [ 32 , 33 ]. Underestimations may be worse for overweight people [ 10 , 34 ], whereas dieters tend to have greater accuracy [ 35 ].…”
