“…Sixteen studies (23%) only recorded total food consumption and mealtime with an electronic scale and/or stopper for eating rate calculation rather than measuring other eating oral processing behaviours, such as bite size and chewing rate. Other, less common methods, included the Universal Eating Monitor (UEM) (20,56,68,72,77,86,97,111) , Mandometer (57) , electromyography (EMG) sensors (10,50,112) and direct observation (49,75,79,85,93,113,114) .…”

Various factors were considered, including snacking behaviour (51) and irregular diet (51) , food-tomealtime context (111) , food palatability (50,75,79,87,113) and perceived hunger/satiety (50,60,75,93,113,120) .

Accumulating evidence shows associations between rapid eating and overweight. Modifying eating rate might be a potential weight management strategy without imposing additional dietary restrictions. A comprehensive understanding of factors associated with eating speed will help with designing effective interventions. The aim of this review was to synthesize the current state of knowledge on the factors associated with eating rate. The socio-ecological model (SEM) was utilized to scaffold the identified factors. A comprehensive literature search of 11 databases was conducted to identify factors associated with eating rate. The 104 studies that met the inclusion criteria were heterogenous in design and methods of eating rate measurement. We identified 39 factors that were independently linked to eating speed and mapped them onto the individual, social and environmental levels of the SEM. The majority of the reported factors pertained to the individual characteristics (n=20) including demographics, cognitive/psychological factors and habitual food oral processing behaviours. Social factors (n=11) included eating companions, social and cultural norms, and family structure. Environmental factors (n=8) included food texture and presentation, methods of consumption or background sounds. Measures of body weight, food form and characteristics, food oral processing behaviours and gender, age and ethnicity were the most researched and consistent factors associated with eating rate. A number of other novel and underresearched factors emerged, but these require replication and further research. We highlight directions for further research in this space and potential evidence-based candidates for interventions targeting eating rate.

“…Research suggests that children aged 2-3 years begin to associate foods with particular contexts (e.g., a cake is eaten at birthdays, cereal is eaten for breakfast) (32,33) , with other research demonstrating that these food-to-mealtime associations persist into adulthood (31) . Indeed, the significant role of food-to-mealtime-associations in influencing people's eating behaviours is such that consuming a particular food outside of its appropriate context can impact how the food will be perceived and eaten (34,35) . Food-tomealtime routines become embedded in everyday eating decisions with research showing that perceived situational appropriateness can predict the food chosen in a given context, as well as the expected and actual momentary liking of the food (36) .…”

Would offering vegetables to children for breakfast increase their total daily vegetable intake?

The consumption of vegetables is vitally important for children’s health and development. However, in many Westernised countries, most children do not eat sufficient quantities of vegetables and consume many energy-dense and high-sugar foods; a health behaviour associated with the onset of non-communicable diseases. To address this important public health concern, it is necessary to think ‘outside the box’ and consider innovative and pragmatic ways to increase children’s daily vegetable intake. In many countries, caregivers implementing best-practice child feeding methods typically offer children vegetables at lunch, dinner and for snacks. It is unusual for children to be routinely offered vegetables for breakfast, yet there is no nutritional, physiological or medical reason why vegetables should not be eaten at breakfast. Indeed, in some countries, children frequently consume vegetables for breakfast. Increasing children’s exposure to vegetables at breakfast from an early age would allow for the development of a positive association between eating vegetables and breakfast, thus providing another opportunity in the day where vegetables might be regularly consumed by children. In this paper we propose a rationale for why vegetables should be routinely offered to young children at breakfast time in countries where this may not be the norm. Future research assessing the feasibility and acceptability of such a public health intervention would provide health policy agencies with evidence about a potentially effective and easily implementable approach for increasing children’s vegetable intake, thus improving their overall nutritional status, as well as their heath and development.
