Document Summary
Nufs 356 food intake determinants in children. It is important to note that there is lots of variability in what kid will eat throughout the day but there will be little variation in overall intake. There are however certain elements that influence a toddler or preschooler to eat. Reducing the fat in the kids diets leads to them to eating more carbs. Internal: children were asked how their tummy felt (empty, full, ect. ) Study found that children have a natural ability to eat what they want when left with their internal cues but they rely less on this when external cues like parent"s intervention interfere. Study suggested, those who were left alone ate more than those that rewarded for trying something. They realized that if they had to be rewarded it might not be good. Study suggested, giving smaller portions and then being allowed to ask for more teaches good manners and allows them to choose how much they eat.
