Eating Habits

Hunger- the body’s physical need for food

Appetite- a desire for food because of your environment and your thoughts

Ex- when you smell freshly baked cookies. Your body might not be hungry, but your appetite takes over.

Healthful eating VS. Harmful eating

Healthful eating habits- involve following the dietary guidelines and eating an amount of food that helps you maintain a healthful weight

Harmful eating habits- involve eating for reasons other than hunger and nutrition.

Ex- eating too much, or eating the wrong kinds of foods.

What would you do?

You find yourself thinking about a fast food restaurant because you saw an advertisement about double burgers with bacon on TV

It’s a hot, sticky day and you look in an ice cream shop. You just ate a meal, but the double scoop with chocolate syrup looks awesome!

You are at a birthday party, and someone hands you a big piece of cake covered with frosting. You know that it will add a lot of sugar and calories to your day’s diet.

Eating and emotions

Emotions may lead people to eat when they are not really hungry

Emotions may also lead people to NOT eat when they are hungry

People may eat to cope with feelings such as: anxiety, loneliness, or boredom

Ex- Rachel is anxious after having an argument with her friend. She eats a pint of ice cream to lift her spirits.
