Research shows that significantly more is consumed when bite sizes are large (about 15 g) than when they are small (about 5 g). More is also consumed when oral processing time is short
(3 seconds) rather than long (9 seconds). Eating slowly and taking small bites may help reduce food
intake. To read more, Zijlstra N, de Wijk RA, Mars M et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2009; 90(2): 269-275.
