Hello r/CasualUK
I am doing my dissertation for my degree in Nutrition, I am gathering data about the general nutritional knowledge of the UK population in the hopes to find areas where nutritional knowledge is lacking. I would greatly appreciate it if you could complete my short 5 to 10 min survey! Here is the link, thanks! https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/LFQTI/

I'll do it if you answer me just one question.
I've had takeaway pizza 4 days in a row. Do I go for a 5th?
might as well make it a good week and go for 7 mate
You know your nutrition.
Did the survey, would be interesting to find the answers to the questions although it clearly wasn't a test.
I guess I could Google.
Or continue to live in ignorance.
Going for ignorance, and a pizza. Cheers.
I don't get why pizza is so bad for you.
If you had cheese and tomato on toast, that wouldn't be thousands of calories, would it?
I mean, that amount of cheese is pretty bad
That was fun! Completed
glad you enjoyed it lol, thanks a lot
Done. Some of the questions seemed a bit too obvious with the answer choice, and.. well not all of us finished high school, so I lied considering "no academic education" wasn't an option.
Ah I didn't realise I hadn't included that option. That's an oversight on my part. Thanks for completing it
All done - good luck with it mate
thanks bud
Done it, best of luck!
thanks!
Ooo that was fun! Just to clarify about the milk recommendation question, you could say that it depends on the person, like babies over 1 are only allowed whole milk because they need the calories, then I think about 2/3 they say that if they are gaining to much weight then you can change to skimmed or semi. But I was assuming that it was asking what is best for an adult.
Also anything thing, maybe it would be interesting to find out where people get most of their nutritional info, is it from their doctor? Instagram “fitness gurus”, fake news on social media or news paper articles.
It absolutely depends on the person you are right. But there are general guidelines that the govt recommends and this is just seeing people's awareness of that.
And yes that would be interesting to be fair. Wish I'd included it!
How do you define exercise? Is just time spent not sitting on your arse or is more effort required?
Elevated heart rate. So anything from a brisk walk to a set of heavy deadlifts I reckon.
Complete, actually not a bad one to do 👍
thanks for doing it!
I'll do it, but I know my shit
go smash it then
Boss'd it mate
Hope this is about misinformation and not what they're actually teaching you to recommend to people
No, it's just about seeing what the public knows and doesn't know
Done, quite a lot of the medical related questions in that need revising, as the number of dietary influences on conditions can be very varied. In addition the questions on fats where the options are only "less" or "not at all" are leading.
Done. Good luck
Question 23... Does it require a hyphen?
Do you mean: Less 'refined food’
Or
'Less refined’ food?
I will have a look at that, thank you
EDIT. Less, as in the amount
[deleted]
As in eating a smaller amount of refined food.
Ta
Done it for you too.
thank you
Oh dear now i feel really dim, I think I'll need to go see my nutritionist friend & get her to teach me about food 😊 hope my answers help!
Haha dont worry, I've nearly got my degree in it and there were still a couple questions that made me scratch my head!
Done, I know a bit about some stuff and not much about other stuff nutritionally.
Thanks! That is the purpose of the survey, to see where the biggest gaps in peoples knowledge are
Done interesting survey
thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Didn't see the 'tick one' note for Q3 and ended up choosing an option for all of them, oops.
no worries lol, I'll be able to see mistakes in the answering and filter those. Thanks for doing it!
Done, would be cool if I could see how un/miss informed I am.
I will post the correct results and all my data/analysis in the summer, will make sure to message you, thanks!
That’s cool, thank you.
All done, be interested to see the results. Good luck
I will post it all in the summer and make sure to message you, thanks for participating
Done!
Is smart survey better than survey monkey? Do you have to pay extra for anything? With survey monkey it’s free to create a survey but you have to pay to export the findings.
I looked at using survey monkey but I just preferred the questionnaire builder in smart survey. I paid 40 quid for a month subscription which allows me to have 1000 responses. I couldn't tell you which is better tbh.
Thanks for doing the survey!
It would be informative, and interesting to see the correct answers to the food-related questions. There were a few I was quite uncertain about, and I likely made mamy errors too!
I will post it in the future and make sure to message you about it, thanks for taking part!
Would also like to see the answers and results if possible.
Second this, I’d like to see the answers
Me too please
me three please
Me too! Fairly confident, but now I'm second guessing
Me as well please, thanks.
