口痕搵嘢食

廿一世紀初喺大馬士革一角影到嘅糖菓;好似糖噉細細粒又嘅嘢食,被指係好方便人口痕就搵嚟食。
2019 年一日,喺香港一角影到有人擺檔,賣啲細細件嘅零食

口痕搵嘢食英文grazing [註 1]),或者叫口痕摷嘢食,係一種食嘢相關嘅人類行為規律。如果話一個人口痕搵嘢食,意思係指呢個人重複又冇計劃噉走去搵嘢食,次次都只係少量噉食,而且明明唔覺都走去搵。口痕搵嘢食可以係一種唔想做都忍唔住去做嘅行為[1],個人好多時食咗之後會感到內疚等嘅負面感受,因而為個人造成心理壓力[2]

啲人口痕搵嘢食嗰陣,特別傾向去食一啲細細哋一件件、唔使點樣花費精神就可以食得嘅零食。例如想像而家有個人喺櫃入邊收埋咗啲曲奇餅。佢喺屋企無所事事就會想去開櫃攞曲奇餅嚟食(重複),每次都淨係食一塊咁少(少量),每塊曲奇餅唔使花咩工夫準備,會為佢帶嚟小小嘅快感

睇埋:體重管理

呢種行為就噉睇好似冇咩大不了,但係一個人每次口痕搵嘢食都可以搞到佢一日多咗 200 至 300 卡路里。每日食兩三次已經會積少成多,多咗 600 至 900 卡路里—普通嘅成年女人每日需要 2000 卡路里左右,而普通嘅成年男人每日就需要 2500 卡路里左右[3],即係話一個人習慣咗口痕搵嘢食,分分鐘(喺卡路里攝取上)等同每日食多咗一餐咁滯。

事實係,健康方面嘅研究睇過啲一度減肥成功但後尾肥返嘅人,發現佢哋之所以會肥返,其中一個主因就係因為佢哋有口痕搵嘢食嘅習慣[4]
