In terms of health reasons, what you eat first at a meal is usually what you eat most of!. That's why many people start meals off with a salad!.
A dieting "tip" I've seen many times is to eat the food on your plate in order: vegetables and fruit, protein, and then starches and anything else you have!. As you continue to eat you'll start to feel full, you'll have eaten your vegetables and meat and little room will be left for the less healthy foods!.
Dessert is left for last, because you're stomach will still feel mostly full from dinner, and you won't have the room to eat more than a small piece of whatever it is you're planning on enjoying!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think is starteds as being seen as a reward if you finished your dinner and over time it just stuck, i think it should be eaten before personally, probably good weight loss cuz i don't think i'd want dinner after a slice of pieWww@FoodAQ@Com
