Adults eat their plate almost completely

We eat 92 percent of what we serve ourselves. Take advantage of this knowledge.

Without distraction we eat more When the people studied were not distracted by others, they even ate 97 percent of their plate. It may not surprise you, but children are less likely to empty their plates; only 59 percent of their plate.

Wise lesson
During the serving, we actually more or less determine how much we are going to eat. It is therefore wise to carefully weigh the portions before you start cooking. If you serve up too much later, there is a good chance that you will also eat too much.

Do you weigh your ingredients?
