Satter Eating Competence Model

The Satter Eating Competence Model is a way to understand a healthy relationship with food. It highlights four key skills: enjoying a variety of foods without guilt, feeling confident in making food choices, being flexible with eating patterns, and trusting your body's hunger and fullness signals. When these skills are developed, individuals are more likely to eat in a balanced, satisfying, and joyful way, supporting overall well-being. The model emphasizes that developing eating competence is a process that can improve with practice, leading to healthier attitudes and behaviors around food.
