The Timing of Meals.

Abstract: In most individuals, food intake occurs as discrete bouts or meals, and little attention has been paid to the factors that normally determine when meals will occur when food is freely available. On the basis of experiments using rats, the authors suggest that when there are no constraints on obtaining food and few competing activities, 3 levels of interacting controls normally dictate when meals will start. The first is the genetically determined circadian activity pattern on which nocturnal animals tend to in… Show more

“…In this light, eliciting a neurally induced slight decrease of glucose can be viewed as an appropriate preparation to circumvent an otherwise excessive increase of glucose. We (Ramsay et al 1996;Strubbe & Woods 2004;Woods 1991;Woods & Ramsay 2000;Woods & Strubbe 1994), as well as other contemporary writers (Dworkin 1993;Schulkin 2003), believe that this better captures the essence of the concept of regulation originally espoused by Bernard.…”

“…In this light, although meals are obviously necessary for the defense of body weight in the long run, it has been argued (e.g., (Bolles 1980)) that feeding per se is not regulated because it is not being driven by deficits. In contrast, body adiposity can be considered to be regulated because perturbations in body fat elicit corrective effector responses to restore adiposity (Ramsay et al 1996;Seeley et al 1997;Strubbe & van Dijk 2002;Strubbe & Woods 2004;Woods et al 1974;Woods & Strubbe 1994). …”

“…Episodic signals that indicate nutrient availability are derived from the gut, liver and blood. In addition, there are episodic signals that relay information about circadian, seasonal and reproductive rhythms, stress and other factors (Berthoud, 2002;Strubbe & Woods, 2004), which are beyond the scope of the present article.…”

“…Th e mechanisms controlling satiation determine the size of the meal. Satiety is a period of time between the meals with no hunger (Strubbe and Woods 2004). Th is time period is variable and its termination coincides with the refeeling of the hunger accompanied by the consumption of the next meal, thus resuming the cycle of the food intake (Hargrave and Kinzig 2012) (Figure 1).…”
