Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Snacking and irregular meal patterns have been implicated in the development of overweight and obesity However, there is conflicting evidence such as that from NHANES that snacking reduces the risk of adolescents being overweight Eating quickly has also been implicated in the overconsumption of dietary energy, and associated with higher body mass index (BMI) Both meal pattern and speed of eating may be amenable to intervention to prevent obesity so it is important to clarify the effects of these on energy intake and BMI.
