a

EAH, eating in the absence of hunger.

b

Linear mixed models adjusted for condition, time, and condition*time. Unadjusted Models: separate models estimating relationships of EAH intake with PFS, mYFAS, and BIS. Interaction Model 1: model estimating the relationship of EAH intake with PFS, BIS, and the interaction of PFS with BIS. Interaction Model 2: models estimating the relationship of EAH intake with mYFAS, BIS, and the interaction of mYFAS with BIS.

c

EAH-kcal, energy consumed during EAH

d

EAH-%, percent of EAH food consumed (100[amount consumed (g)/amount served (g)])

e

Intake of all EAH test foods.

f

Intake of sweet EAH test foods (highly processed: cookies, peanut butter cups, brownies; minimally processed: grapes, apples, clementines)

g

Intake of savory EAH test foods (highly processed: potato chips, nacho chips, cheese popcorn; minimally processed: grape tomatoes, dry roasted unsalted peanuts, baby carrots)

h

PFS, Power of Food Scale

i

mYFAS, modified Yale Food Addiction Scale

j

BIS, Barratt Impulsivity Scale
