Yes, eating quickly is common, whether you picked up the habit from busy meals or just naturally eat at a fast pace. It’s only really worth changing if it leaves you uncomfortable or makes it hard to notice when you’re full.
Lots of people eat quickly, especially when they’re rushed, distracted, or used to short meal breaks. Some people simply have a faster pace than others, and that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.
The main downside is that you may not notice you’re full until after you’ve eaten more than feels comfortable. If that happens, taking a pause partway through or putting your fork down between bites can help—but you don’t need to turn every meal into a slow-eating project.
