Background Large portions and high dietary energy density promote overconsumption at
meal times. This could be reduced by eating slowly. Objective Two studies investigated …

Background Consumption of ultra-processed foods has been linked with higher energy
intakes. Food texture is known to influence eating rate (ER) and energy intake to satiation …

Faster eating has been identified as a risk factor for obesity and the current study tested
whether eating rate is consistent within an individual and linked to energy intake across …

Background: When the portion size and energy density (in kcal/g) of a food are varied
simultaneously in a single meal, each influences energy intake independently. Objective …

Background & aims Texture modified diets may be enriched to optimise the opportunity for
individuals to meet their required energy intakes; however there is insufficient evidence …

Studies conducted by behavioural scientists show that the energy density (kcal/g) of food
provides effective guidance for healthy food choices to control intake and promote satiety …

The increase in the prevalence of obesity has coincided with an increase in portion sizes of
foods both inside and outside the home, suggesting that larger portions may play a role in …

Background: Large portions of food may contribute to excess energy intake and greater
obesity. However, data on the effects of portion size on food intake in adults are limited …

Portion size affects intake, but when all foods are served in large portions, it is unclear
whether every food will be consumed in greater amounts. We varied the portion size (PS) of …

Serving larger portions leads to increased food intake, but behavioral factors that influence
the magnitude of this portion size effect have not been well characterized. We investigated …
