Do you tend to eat one thing at a time or switch between various foods on your plate? 🍽️ Recent research by @NicholasNeuwald and @KatKellerLab explores how consistent this food-switching behavior is within children across various meals. ow.ly/KCsM50R9hPA #pennstatenutrsci

New publication❗️Excited to share my paper on food switching behavior in children. Here we look at how consistent switching behavior is within children across different meals and eating paradigms.🍽️@KatKellerLab, @AlainaLPearce, @PMCunningham23

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 – at Wageningen, Nederland
