abstract={This study analysed the meaning of what the act of eating is, and which modes of eating are seen as positive or negative for health, among a sample of Brazilian adults. The data were collected using an online questionnaire (OQ) (n = 25) and face-to-face interview (FI) (n = 10) and compared. The data were analysed using the exploratory content analysis. The results obtained from the analysis of the participant responses through OQ and FI were comparable. For the participants, the act of eating was, primarily, a <i>basic need</i>; the most evident positive and negative modes of eating were <i>eating healthily</i> and <i>eating unhealthily</i>, respectively. The findings suggest that the sample population responses to the act of eating and modes of eating may be in line with the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population. Our results are relevant to the international community since several countries are updating their food guidelines based on the Brazilian guideline.},
