尽管如本报告其他部分所述，特定营养素的摄入可能会改变与进食没有直接关系的行为，但营养素诱导的神经递质合成变化的主要功能似乎很可能是向大脑提供有关所吃东西的信息，然后大脑可以利用这些信息来决定下一步吃什么。本章总结了用于评估药物和疾病对食欲和食物消耗的影响的研究策略和技术，这些策略和技术也可能有助于探索特定营养物质的影响。粗略的食物摄入量和全球饥饿评级可能太不敏感，无法揭示许多营养物质的微妙影响。一些替代程序允许评估摄食行为的特定方面(例如食物或营养选择)，以及这种行为与个体的新陈代谢和生理状态、感官功能、味觉享乐和对食物的情感反应之间的关系。
Although, as described elsewhere in this report, the consumption of particular nutrients can modify behaviors that are not directly related to eating, it seems highly likely that the main function of nutrient-induced changes in neurotransmitter synthesis is to provide the brain with information about what has been eaten, which the brain can then utilize in deciding what to eat next. This chapter summarizes research strategies and techniques which have been used to assess the effects of drugs and diseases on appetite and food consumption, and which might also be useful in exploring the effects of particular nutrients.Crude measures of total food intake and of global hunger ratings are probably too insensitive to reveal the subtle effects of many nutrients. Some alternative procedures allow the assessment of particular aspects of feeding behaviour, (e.g. food or nutrient choice), and of the relationships between such behaviour and the individual's metabolic and physiological state, sensory functions, taste hedonics, and affective response to foods.
