Eli5: does the order in which you eat food matter?

1.26K views

Regarding digestion if hypothetically you have dessert first before eating dinner (but within the same time frame), does that lead to a different digestion outcome than if you had dinner before dessert?

Let’s say I eat a burger first then fries after, does that affect your stomach and digestion differently than if you were to eat fries first before the burger? Or assuming you have them within minutes of each other it doesn’t really matter?

Eat low glycemic foods first, then high glycemic foods after to lessen the impact of the high glycemic food on your blood sugar.

For example, I always eat a bit of cheese before eating candy if I do not have a full stomach.
