《飲食行為》是一本國際同行評審的科學期刊，發表了關于成人和兒童肥胖、暴飲暴食和飲食失調的病因學、預防和治療的人類研究。有關促進健康飲食模式以治療或預防疾病(例如高血壓、糖尿病、癌癥)的研究也可以接受。(1)建立飲食行為與社會、認知、環境、態度、情緒或生化因素之間的功能關系的描述性研究;(2)評估預防或治療方案療效的臨床結果研究。雖然理論方向是多樣的，但該雜志的重點主要是實證的。也就是說，良好的實驗設計加上有效、可靠的評價和評價程序是驗收的必要條件。不接受不受控制的臨床演示和病例研究發表。發表的評論數量有限。

Eating Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing human research on the etiology, prevention, and treatment of obesity, binge eating, and eating disorders in adults and children. Studies related to the promotion of healthy eating patterns to treat or prevent medical conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cancer) are also acceptable. Two types of manuscripts are encouraged: (1) Descriptive studies establishing functional relationships between eating behaviors and social, cognitive, environmental, attitudinal, emotional or biochemical factors; (2) Clinical outcome research evaluating the efficacy of prevention or treatment protocols.While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. Uncontrolled clinical demonstrations and case studies are not accepted for publication. A limited number of reviews are published.
