Do you tend to eat one thing at a time or switch between various foods on your plate? ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Recent research by @NicholasNeuwald and @KatKellerLab explores how consistent this food-switching behavior is within children across various meals. https://t.co/xOcYx1XbrZ #pennstatenutrsci

Loss of control (LOC) eating is the perceived inability to control how much is eaten, regardless of actual amount consumed. Childhood LOC-eating is a risk fa...

Excellent new paper from @KatKellerLab @NicoleAReigh @TanjaKral @AlainaLPearce @marion_mh and Barbara Rolls on energy compensation in Children. Findings show wide variability in energy compensation & methods across studies. More research needed on inter-individual differences

Virtual reality headsets can be used in eating behavior studies to simulate real-world environments, according to research from @NutritionCues in @pennstateNUTR. This technology provides a sustainable method for studying eating behavior and food choice. https://t.co/BLdiJuW9ZU

Congrats to Nick Neuwald and @KatKellerLab for another great paper on eating microstructure! Switching between foods was associated with greater eating in the absence of hunger and reward-based eating. @SSIBsociety @PSUresearch @pennstateNUTR https://t.co/lPghqi2qfD

While both Dr. Kissilef's ( https://t.co/pYCTI4aRoM) and Dr. Thomas's ( https://t.co/4Kq0GuVntU) models performed well, the Dr. Thomas's LODE model had several advantages: 1) parameters were independent 2) no non-feasible intake values 3) parameters were more distinct

Using simulations, we showed that measurement error from using average bite size and video-coded bite timing did not impact the ability to accurately extract cumulative intake curves. This means scales are not required.

Cumulative intake curves are typically assessed with hidden scales to continuously measure intake. However, this requires limiting many eating behaviors that are typical for children or those with disordered eating (e.g., playing with/dissecting food).
