In this post, I focus on the UK's recent decision to require calorie counts on menus and why this decision could contribute to a rise in eating disorders.
Key Points:
Menu calorie counts could increase anxiety about food and social evaluation.
For some individuals, weight management behavior can reduce anxiety through biological mechanisms.
Menu calorie counts cater to the compulsive nature of eating disorders behavior.
Teaching intuitive eating, nutrition, and food enjoyment is the best approach for healthy living.
