Watching television (TV) can increase calorie and fat intake, particularly through snacking. Reducing TV-related snacking behaviors may help manage weight by controlling caloric consumption.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental health
  • Obesity research
  • Behavioral science

Background:

  • Rising obesity rates in America necessitate investigation into environmental factors.
  • Television viewing is a potential environmental contributor to obesity due to its association with eating behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between television (TV) viewing and food intake.
  • To identify the impact of TV viewing on specific eating behaviors, such as snacking and meal consumption.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-four overweight women undergoing obesity treatment participated.
  • Participants completed questionnaires on dietary habits and TV viewing behaviors.

Main Results:

  • Snacking while watching TV was linked to higher overall caloric intake.

  • TV-accompanied snacking also correlated with increased consumption of calories from fat.
  • No significant association was found between watching TV and mealtime caloric intake.

    • Conclusions:

    • Television viewing, especially snacking during programs, contributes to increased caloric and fat intake.
    • Interventions focused on stimulus control to reduce snacking behaviors may be effective in managing overall caloric consumption and aiding obesity treatment.
