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?

In terms of digestion, it shouldn’t matter. It might however effect your experience a good it, as something higher in sugar that hits your system more quickly / registers as a higher “value” meal mentally or in terms of your taste receptors… eating the dinner *after* dessert might not be as nice an experience for the dinner.
