Can a Single Digit Make Consumers Eat Less? the Influence of Calorie Presentation Format on Consumers’ Unhealthy Food Consumption
This research shows that a round-number presentation (as opposed to precise presentation) of food calorie information will decrease consumers’ consumption of unhealthy foods. This is because the enhanced fluency of processing round (vs. precise) numbers will magnify perceived risk associated with calorie intake, which in turn decreases consumption level.
