Project description

The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of normative cues (food granularity and portion size) on consumers' food intake. Better insight in the underlying mechanisms of these visual cues would improve strategies to reduce intake of unhealthy food. Hence, we propose 3 research objectives to advance our knowledge on this topic by conducting literature and experimental research.
