What Is Grazing?
In the fields of diet and nutrition, grazing is referred to as a habitual behavior of eating small meals and snacks all day without often sitting down to enjoy a full meal. Grazing is often viewed as a negative behavior, because people are able to eat far more calories than they think without realizing it; it is possible, however, to graze healthfully and to actually use it as a weight loss tool. Many dietitians will ask their clients to keep track of the food they eat in a day to determine their mindless eating habits that may be having an impact on weight and health, such as this type of behavior.
