Abstract
New tools have been developed to automate the study of human eating behavior. This research examined three aspects of a participant’s usage habits of a new energy intake monitoring tool, the Bite Counter. Research questions pertaining to immediate and long term compliance of the device and adherence to the alarm were examined based on data collected from 30 female participants. Participants adapted to using the device quite easily. 80% were compliant immediately from the start of use, increasing to 90% of participants within the first two weeks of the study. However, 23% of participants never attained or failed to maintain compliance standards with the Bite Counter. Finally, compliant participants stopped eating when the Bite Counter alarm sounded approximately 69% of the time. These findings show that the Bite Counter is easily adopted and functionally easy to operate for novice users.
