Appetite and Food Intake

Appetite and Food Intake 
Behavioral and Physiological Considerations

by Ruth B.S. Harris

(2008)

Appetite and Food Intake summarizes current understanding of environmental and physiological determinants of food choice and energy balance.

Appetite and Food Intake:

• Reviews the current status of both basic and applied research on the regulation of food intake
• Focuses on factors that influence food intake given availability
• Consolidates research from a broad range of disciplines including animal, human, behavioral, and physiological research

Appetite and Food Intake highlights the synergies and gaps in research approaches to highlight current knowledge and identify areas of needed and promising study.
