This is all part of the youth routine and has been worrying the “weight authorities”. But after a law required establishments to clearly display nutritional tables of their products, consumers were certainly more aware of what they are eating. It will be?

A recent study found that restaurants that display the amount of exercise needed to balance the amount of calories eaten at each meal register less absurd customer requests than other establishments. On the other hand, where only the exact number of calories in the dishes is listed on nutrition tables on the packaging or on the menu itself, customers always over order.

In other words, establishments that left the part of the truth that hurts the most on people's minds were where customers were least likely to overdo it and end up overeating.

Eat with the eyes?

"We found that menus with exercise-related tables meant significant reductions in order size and calorie intake, " says Meena Shah, a professor at the Texas Christian University Nutrition Clinic and author of the study. The work was presented at the Experimental Biology conference held in Boston during the last week of April.
