To gather consumer input about approaches to providing energy composition information for foods on fast-food restaurant menus.
We asked a subset of individuals (n = 150) in an experimental study about the influence of nutrition labeling on fast-food meal choices to evaluate calorie information on mock fast-food menus in various formats.
Three community sites in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, metropolitan area.
Adolescents and adults who ate fast food at least once per week were recruited.
Via a series of open- and close-ended questions, participants gave feedback about several formats for providing energy composition information for foods on fast-food restaurant menus.
Means and frequencies were calculated, and chi2 tests were conducted.
When asked to compare a menu that provided calorie information for each menu item with a menu that provided the number of minutes of running that would be required to burn the calories contained in each menu item, 71.0% of participants preferred the calorie information over the physical activity information. Participants also compared two approaches to providing caloric reference information on the menu (average daily calorie needs per day vs. per meal), and 61.3% preferred the calorie needs-per-meal format.
Our results may be useful in designing approaches to providing energy composition information for foods on fast-food restaurant menus.
收集消费者对于在快餐店菜单上提供食品能量成分信息的方法的意见。
在一项实验研究中，我们询问了一部分个体（n = 150）关于营养标签对快餐餐食选择的影响，以评估各种格式的模拟快餐菜单上的卡路里信息。
明尼阿波利斯 - 圣保罗，明尼苏达州大都市地区的三个社区地点。
招募了每周至少吃一次快餐的青少年和成年人。
通过一系列开放式和封闭式问题，参与者对在快餐店菜单上提供食品能量成分信息的几种格式给出了反馈。
计算均值和频率，并进行卡方检验。
当被要求比较一个为每个菜单项提供卡路里信息的菜单和一个提供燃烧每个菜单项所含卡路里所需跑步分钟数的菜单时，71.0%的参与者更喜欢卡路里信息而不是身体活动信息。参与者还比较了在菜单上提供卡路里参考信息的两种方法（每天平均卡路里需求与每餐平均卡路里需求），61.3%的人更喜欢每餐卡路里需求格式。
我们的结果可能有助于设计在快餐店菜单上提供食品能量成分信息的方法。
