Hey! Would anyone be interesting in participating in a PhD project involving food diaries? (would be greatly appreciated!)

I am currently studying/writing a PhD on palm oil and palmitic acid consumption in plant-based diets, as well as the typical western diet. I am also analysing the effects different levels of consumption of PO/PA has on metabolic health (as well as brain health, skeletal muscle, gut homeostasis, disease and more).

This specific experiment will help towards determining the intake of PO/PA across the UK (therefore study is UK only).

What will happen if I take part?
As a participant in this study, you will need to have access to Microsoft Word and an email account:
Complete a questionnaire designed to collect some general information about your anthropometry, physical activity and lifestyle, dietary habits and awareness on palm oil.
Complete a diet diary stating about your dietary intake for a total of 12 days, including all meals, snacks and beverages (including alcohol):
a. Week 1 - Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
b. Week 6 - Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
c. Week 12 - Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday

Ethical approval was obtained from the University of Central Lancashire. Consent Form and Participant Information Sheet required to be read and signed before participating.

Please private message me if you are interested or could take the time to take part, it would be greatly appreciated. Any questions, please post here so that others will also see the answer(s) :)
