Increased availability of high-energy dense foods has contributed to a pediatric obesity epidemic, with 23% of United States children currently presenting with the disease. How children eat contributes to both overconsumption and greater adiposity. However, it is unclear if laboratory measures of children's eating style generalize to the home environment, where children consume two thirds of their total energy. The study will 1) test if child eating styles observed in the lab generalize to more ecologically valid home environments and 2) identify aspects of home food environment that amplify obesogenic eating behaviors. We will assess laboratory and home eating styles (e.g., bite rate) in 100 prepubertal 6-9-year-old children to constrain variability in energy requirements. Children will be video-recorded while consuming identical study-provided meals at home and in the laboratory (counter-balanced order) in addition to a 'typical' meal at home. To study how adiposity relates to "obesogenic" styles of eating, gold standard dual x-ray absorptiometry will be used.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home vs Lab Eating Behavior | Experimental | Examine differences in participants' eating at home versus in the lab |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meal Location | Behavioral | The location at which the child will eat the experimental meal - home or lab |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Child body mass index | child height and weight will be measured | Day 1 |
| Food intake in grams during a standard meal | Intake in grams from standard meal | Day 1 and Day 2 or 3 depending on randomization |
| Food intake in kcal during a standard meal | Intake in kcal during a standard meal | Day 1 and Day 2 or 3 depending on randomization |
| Video coding of standard meal | A digital recording of the child eating a standard meal will be saved. The study team have developed a behavior coding protocol to measure child meal microstructure (e.g., bites, bite size, meal duration) and have also validated a computational model to assess cumulative intake curves from video coded bite data. | Day 1 and Day 2 or 3 depending on randomization |
| Food intake in grams during a snack buffet when not hungry | Intake in grams during a snack buffet using a standard eating in the absence of hunger paradigm (i.e., non-homeostatic intake) | Day 1 |
| Food intake in kcal during a snack buffet when not hungry | Intake in kcal during a snack buffet using a standard eating in the absence of hunger paradigm (i.e., non-homeostatic intake) | Day 1 |
| Body Composition | Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to assess body composition including fat mass and fat-free mass in children |

All de-identified IPD will be shared. For identifiable video data, data will only be shared if participants consent to sharing their videos in a restricted repository called Databrary.
IPD will be available at the end of the study and be available in perpetuity
De-identified IPD will be openly available while identifiable IPD will be available through a restricted access repository called Databrary. identifiable data shared with Databrary will only be viewable and downloadable to authorized users who have been granted secure access by Databrary's administrators. Only researchers with Principal Investigator status from institutions with Institutional Review Boards or similar review entities, or researchers affiliated with Principal Investigators, will be authorized for access.
Authorized users will be required to sign a user agreement that specifies that they will: (1) be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the data; (2) abide by ethical principles for treatment of human subjects as mandated by their local Institutional Review Boards; (3) agree not use the data for commercial purposes; and (4) treat data in Databrary with the same high standards of care that they would treat data collected in their own laboratories.
