When B.C’s health minister sits down he wants to know how many calories he is eating, and so does a large portion of the public he claims.
Waterloo professor David Hammond says “existing research suggests that more and more of our calorie consumption is coming from food eaten outside the home and the nutritional quality of these foods is typically low: higher in fat, salt and calories. We also know that very few people have any idea about the calorie content of what they are eating; some studies have shown that even dietitians can't accurately predict what is in their food."
