“…Daily life research has also demonstrated that increased consumption of hedonic "snack type" products, which are nutrient-dense and high in sugar and fat, may be used in order to cope with the negative emotions associated with daily hassles (Newman, O'Connor, & Conner, 2007;O'Connor et al, 2008). Although studies in other settings confirm these findings (e.g., Cleobury & Tapper, 2014;Gibson, 2006;Groesz et al, 2012;Kandiah, Yake, Jones, & Meyer, 2006;O'Connor et al, 2008;Oliver & Wardle, 1999;Tomiyama, Dallman, & Epel, 2011;Torres & Nowson, 2007;Widaman, Witbracht, Forester, Laugero, & Keim, 2016;Zellner et al, 2006), not all individuals make use of this coping mechanism (e.g., Kandiah, Yake, & Willet, 2008;Macht, 2008). Research has pointed out that snacking may provide comfort or distraction from negative emotions associated with stress (e.g., Christensen, 1993;Gamble, Bava, & Wohlers, 2010;Macht, 2008;Macht & Simons, 2000;Spoor, Bekker, van Strien, & van Heck, 2007;Stice, Presnell, Shaw, & Rohde, 2005).…”

The present study sets out to further elucidate the complex relationship between daily hassles, snacking, and negative affect (NA). The aim of the present study was to examine whether or not moment‐to‐moment energy intake from snacks moderates the association between momentary stress and NA. And, if so, can this moderating effect be replicated by using the amount of macronutrient intake (i.e., carbohydrates, fat, and protein) as moderator on the association between momentary stress and NA? Adults (N = 269), aged 20–50 years, participated in this study. Stress, NA, and snack intake were assessed 10 times a day for 7 consecutive days in daily life with an experience sampling smartphone application. Multilevel regression analyses were performed to assess the hypothesized associations. Our study revealed a dampening effect of snacking on negative affective stress reactivity. However, this dampening effect could not be replicated by the amount of macronutrient intake from snacks. On the contrary, the amount of carbohydrates has an enhancing effect on negative affective stress reactivity. In the end, our study suggests that the critical question is which mechanisms are decisive in the dampening role of snacking on stress reactivity. A multidisciplinary approach may provide a full perspective.

“…Under stressful conditions, humans desire palatable foods that are energy-dense [28], especially elevated eating of highsugar, high-fat foods and processed foods [29][30][31][32] and a decrease in consumption of main meals, fruits, and vegetables [30,32,33]. Moreover, in women, aged 18 to 45 years, with a BMI < 40 kg/m 2 , chronic stress was reported to be related to empty calories (added solid fat and sugar) consumption and evening intake of added sugars [34]. The preference of highly palatable, energydense food items is attributed to hormones secreted in stress response, such as cortisol [35].…”

Association between dietary energy density with mental health and sleep quality in women with overweight/obesity

et al. 2020

Objective: Mental health, sleep quality, and dietary intake are interlinked. Impairment of mental health and low sleep quality may contribute to obesity through the consumption of diets high in energy density. Nevertheless, it is not clear whether dietary energy density (DED) influences mental health. This study aimed to examine the association of DED with mental health indices, including depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep quality in women with overweight/ obesity. Results: There was a decreasing trajectory in serum triglyceride across quartiles of DED (from Q1 to Q4) in the crude analysis and also after adjustment for age, BMI, and physical activity After adjustment for age, BMI, and physical activity, subjects in the highest quartile of DED had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure. DED was significantly associated with increased odds of stress in the crude (OR = 2.15, 95% CI 1.01-4.56, p = 0.04) and adjusted model for age, BMI, and physical activity (OR = 2.56, 95% CI 1.13-5.79, p = 0.02). No significant relationship was observed between DED and depression, anxiety and sleep quality. In conclusion, current study shows preliminary evidence of an association between DED and stress.
