The BITE Lab focuses on improving community nutrition through theory-based education designed to promote healthier dietary behaviors. Our work incorporates both concise and in-depth assessments of eating behaviors and diet quality, including 24-hour dietary recalls and validated questionnaires.

The BITE Lab also uses wearable technology with ECG sensors to collect continuous, high-quality physiological data (e.g., heart rate) to determine internal regulation behaviors in real-world settings. Small, user-friendly devices allow for the assessment of internal physiological processes related to stress, regulation, and eating-related decision-making without the need for laboratory visits.
