Associations of appetite characteristics with daily snacking frequency and energy by children's weight status. Interactions of child appetite and weight status to predict snacking frequency and energy were tested by using ordinary least squares regression. Greater snacking frequency (a) and energy (b) were observed among overweight/obese children with greater enjoyment of food (p = 0.01). Greater snacking energy was also observed among overweight/obese children with greater food responsiveness (d, p = 0.05)
