Snacking Science
Research reveals that snacking may not lead to higher overall caloric intake, as individuals who snack tend to eat less at subsequent meals. The relationship between snacking and blood sugar stability is more complex than previously thought, challenging the notion that frequent small meals are always healthier than larger ones. Individual variability plays a significant role in how snacking affects hunger and metabolism.In this clip

What do studies show about snacking and its effects?
If the same amount of food is consumed over a 12-hour period versus a 6-hour period, will the glucose spike after each small meal (spreading total food consumed over a 12-hour window) be correspondingly less than the spike after each large meal (compressing the same intake into a 6-hour window)? Therefore, is it of more benefit to spread food intake over the larger window to 'smooth' glucose spikes?
What is the impact of snacking between meals, depending on the foods?
