Impact of screen eating on food intake

Eating food in front of the television is not a healthy habit, as it increases the likelihood of overeating due to distraction and reduced awareness of the amount of food consumed. This leads to higher calorie intake and the consumption of highly processed foods, especially when watching exciting content or during food advertisements. Studies also indicate that this habit contributes to weight gain and affects the brain regions responsible for taste. The effects of distraction vary between individuals, as it can either inhibit or promote eating depending on the circumstances and accompanying behaviors.
