Food RewardLeeds Food Preference Questionnaire
Finlayson et al., Appetite, 2008, 50(1): 120‐127.
“how much do you want some of this food now?” “How pleasant would it be to experience a mouthful of this food now”
Not at all Extremely

FoB: Future
Target Outcomes• Identify trends in brain activation
• Healthy• Palatable• Healthy > Palatable• Palatable > Healthy
• Identify associations with• Food Inventory• Perceived Stress• Benefit Status
Potential Next Steps• Finish analyzing data
• Resting State & DTI analysis
• Explore relationships• Stress and Future Food Purchases• Does heightened activity in reward centers to palatable food predict future management of food benefits
• Does heightened stress response predict future
