Do you usually eat out all the time? Do you want to slim down but not making any headway? Now you have be cautious about the quantity of food you eat and the type of plate you are served.

Over time I have heard many customers complaining or asking the food attendant to add extra portion to their order, as they feel it won’t be enough to satisfy their craving. It is very important to be aware of environmental influences and to consider what you put on your plate or purchase.#

As you might expect —
or know from firsthand experience — the bigger the plate you’re served, the more you food you’ll end up stuffing into your face. Even if you’re attempting to be mindful of what you eat.
We found evidence that people consistently ate more food or drank more non-alcoholic drinks when offered larger-sized portions, packages or items of tableware than when offered smaller-sized versions,” researchers stated in the study’s abstract. However, while the study found that bigger plates result in bigger food consumption, experts described the effect as “small to moderate” for both adults and children. In other words, if people avoided eating from big plates or were served smaller portions all across their diet, then daily calorie intake would decrease by 12% to 16%, or up to roughly 280 calories.

Larger plates can make a serving of food appear smaller, and smaller plates can lead us to misjudge that very same quantity of food as being significantly larger. For example, in a study conducted at a health and fitness camp, campers who were given larger bowls served and consumed 16% more cereal than those given smaller bowls. Despite the fact that those campers were eating more, their estimates of their cereal consumption were 7% lower than the estimates of the group eating from the smaller bowls. This suggests that not only could large dinnerware cause us to serve and eat more; it can do so without us noticing and trick us into believing we have eaten less.
Eat healthy and control your portion sizes today.
