Background:
Physical exercise may contribute to changes in eating behavior. Aims: to investigate eating behavior and reported energy intake in physically active individuals.
Methods:
Thirty-nine healthy adults of both sexes, who were involved in physical fitness training, were enrolled to participate in the study. A food diary and the TFEQ-21 was used for energy intake measurement and eating behaviors identification.
Results:
All participants showed acceptable levels of all evaluated behaviors: Cognitive restraint (46.58 ± 16.4 and 49.5 ± 20.0), Emotional eating (8.12 ± 12.5 and 40.8 ± 26.7), and Uncontrolled eating (21.6 ± 15.1 and 35.6 ± 20.9) in men and women, respectively. Uncontrolled eating was associated with increased carbohydate intake for women, and fat-free mass content was associated with less Emotional eating only in men. There were no differences in energy and macronutrient consumption between training and non-training days.
Conclusion:
Regular physical exercise is associate to better eating behaviors, but women may find it harder to maintain or lose weight due to higher levels of emotional eating.
Emotional eating is related to carbohydrate intake in active women. Revista de Educação Física 22(4):1-7 · October 2016.
