Methods: This was a secondary analysis of data from 211 children (79% Hispanic) aged 3 to 5 years from low-income families who completed a cluster randomized controlled trial from September 2017 to June 2020. Weight and height were used to calculate BMI percentiles. Sweet (animal crackers) and salty (pretzels) snacks were used to conduct a validated classroom-based EAH assessment. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach investigated associations between the grams of snacks consumed and BMI percentiles. A set of nested multivariable GEEs were estimated, while adjusting for potentially important covariates. Results: Boys significantly consumed more snacks than girls (13.34 \u00b1 9.71 g vs. 8.13 \u00b1 7.36 g; p &lt; 0.001). Children who indicated greater preference for sweet snacks consumed more sweet snacks (r = 0.19; b = 2.05, p &lt; 0.001) and total grams of total snacks (r = 0.18; b = 2.42, p = 0.004) but not salty snacks (pretzels). Consuming more sweet snacks was significantly associated with higher BMI percentiles (b = 0.55; p = 0.024). Conclusions: The findings suggest that a preference for sweet snacks is associated with EAH, and eating sweet snacks in the absence of hunger is related to higher BMI percentiles. Obesity prevention programs may focus on addressing eating sweet snacks in the absence of hunger starting in early childhood.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu17071266","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,4]],"date-time":"2025-04-04T03:36:45Z","timestamp":1743737805000},"page":"1266","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Eating in the Absence of Hunger in Hispanic Preschoolers: Relationships with Child Sex, Food Preference, and Weight Status"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8338-4692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adriana","family":"Verdezoto Alvarado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Behavioral Health and Nutrition, College of Health Sciences, University of Delaware, 100 Discovery Blvd., Newark, DE 19713, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8853-4709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bin C.","family":"Suh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bureau of Assessment and Evaluation, Arizona Department of Health Services, 150 N 18th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85007, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1981-4245","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Todd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, Arizona State University, 550 N 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacob","family":"Szeszulski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Advancing Health Through Agriculture (IHA) at Texas A&M AgriLife Research, 17360 Coit Rd, Dallas, TX 75252, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2336-2114","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Lorenzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, University of Texas Medical Branch, 301 University Blvd., Galveston, TX 77555, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8301-8040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meg","family":"Bruening","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Sciences, College of Health and Human Development, Pennsylvania State University, 110 Chandlee Lab, University Park, PA 16802, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clare","family":"Schuchardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, Arizona State University, 550 N 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9011-0689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rebecca E.","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, Arizona State University, 550 N 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e20153786","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2015-3786","article-title":"Eating in the absence of hunger and weight gain in low-income toddlers","volume":"137","author":"Asta","year":"2016","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3726","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tjnut.2024.10.008","article-title":"Eating in the absence of hunger is a stable predictor of adiposity gains in middle childhood","volume":"154","author":"Bhat","year":"2024","journal-title":"J.
