The effects of bowl size and portion size on food intake and fullness ratings in a sample of Japanese men

“…Previous studies have reported no consistent effects of bowl size on food intake (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26) and our results align with this previous research, while suggesting that the effect of portion size was larger than the effect of bowl size in Japanese men. In Japan, people sometimes share meals from large plates and each eats using a small plate.…”

“…Specifically, one study (19) found that a small plate was associated with higher estimated satiation and lower estimated intake than a larger plate and suggested that this was because the portions appeared different to the eater. Other studies have also investigated the effects of plate size on food intake and fullness, but their results have been inconsistent (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) . According to a systematic review, the difference in food consumption between small and large plate conditions was marginally statistically significant, but effect magnitude was small because of inconsistent results (26) ; subgroup analysis suggested that participant characteristics (weight status), type of dish (plate or bowl), place of experiment (outside or inside a laboratory) and food type (snack or main meal) may influence these results.…”
