This view contrasts with the belief high-caloric foods taste better, make us happy, alleviate negative mood.

Although can vary event event, which implies substantial moment-to-moment differences, current ways of measuring rely on single timepoint questionnaires that assess as situation-stable dispositions (traits).

Mobile technologies such as mobile image-based food recording apps enable eating events to be assessed in the moment real time, thereby reducing memory biases inherent retrospective records.
