‘Comfort eating’ has been used to explain real-world food choices, suggesting that individuals are drawn to energy-dense (‘unhealthy’) snacks when experiencing negative affect. However, this concept has rarely been studied, particularly in real-world settings. Similarly, the effects of snacking on subsequent affect are also poorly understood. The present study aimed to examine the association between affect and snacking in daily life.
