Rat Snacking-A famous eating trend going viral - What is this trend? Is it healthy?

Nowadays the trend of Rat Snacking is all over the internet. It's an eating technique where human beings, inspired from the scavenging nature of the rats, eat like them. It involves having snacks between meals, and doing experiments with unusual food pairings.
This trend is resulting in less food wastage, as they are transforming leftovers into tasty treats. Many believe that adapting with this habit will also help in weight management, as having snacks between meals will stop them from overeating, while having their main meals.
Now the question arises that, is Rat Snacking really healthy? Well, to this Health and Fat loss Coach, Jashan Vij stated that, "This unnecessary habit of eating leftovers mindlessly can be 'catastrophic' for anybody's health." "We should adhere to proper eating schedule. Our bodies are not dustbins, and we should be mindful of what we eat. Our primary focus should always be to replenish our body with high-quality nutrients. We are humans, not rats, so our eating habits should be human like too", he added.
Nutritionist, Nupuur Patil, also feels the same about it, in her opinion " Rat Snacking involves consuming odd food combinations in small portions, mimicking rats' scavenging behaviour. While it offers flexibility and convenience, it may lack essential nutrients found in balanced meals. It's essential to prioritize nutrient-rich foods for overall health," says Nupuur. She further adds that "Overall, if the diet is done mindfully and with a focus on nutritious choices, rat snacking can support weight management goals."
