Public lecture: Burgers for breakfast?
- 25 May 2023
- 5.30pm
- Online (Zoom)
This public lecture will be delivered by Dr Chris McLeod, Doctoral Prize Fellow in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University.
In this talk, Dr Chris McLeod will explore why we eat particular foods, in particular portion sizes, and in particular contexts. Chris will discuss how our learned association between a food, it’s portion size and context is highly influential in determining how much we eat and the nutrients we ingest. His research provides some pause for thought regarding the potential benefits, including weight management, to eating foods in unusual contexts, and will answer the somewhat unusual question: “Should we eat food in unusual contexts to help manage our weight?”.
