Watching action films may make you more likely to pile on the pounds, according to US researchers.
Previous studies have suggested a link between television and obesity but the team at Cornell University tried to establish which genres of television were worst.
The findings, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, showed people snacked far more during action films.
The authors said people should avoid snacking while watching television.
TV is linked to obesity because of junk-food advertising, sedentary behaviour and distracting people so they do not realise how much they are eating.
