The Difference Between Eating and Snacking

Written By David Lewis Kyle

Introduction

Eating and snacking aren't always the same thing.

Meals are usually planned.

Snacks are often spontaneous.

Why That Matters

When we sit down for a meal, we're intentional.

We know what we're eating.

We know why we're eating.

Snacking often happens differently.

It can happen while:

  • Working

  • Driving

  • Watching TV

  • Scrolling on a phone

The more distracted we are, the less aware we become.

Building Awareness

The goal isn't to eliminate snacks.

The goal is to bring the same level of awareness to snacks that we bring to meals.

Final Thought

Intentional eating starts with intentional awareness.
