Preferred term

nutrient reward  

Definition

  • The term nutrient reward is an attempt to measure the benefit a person gains by eating a particular food product. Unlike a measure of calories, this obviously varies from person to person, making the study harder but also, in many ways, more worthwhile as it will help identify why people continue eating particular products even when they are aware that it may cause them to put on weight.
