In recent Belgian researchers offered 88 college students one of three bowls of M& M’s to snack while they watch a 22 -minutes TV show.
They were given
1. a small (1 cup bowl)filled with 7-oz of candy
2. a large bowl (3- cup bowl) filled with 7-oz of candy
3. a large bowl(3-cup bowl) filled with 21 -oz of candy
The students ate twice as much candy from the large bowls, 330 or more calories than they did from the small bowl (1 oz =150 calories)
Results: choose smaller dishes to help with your portion sizes. The less you see and have: the less you will eat. Well off to the store to buy smaller dishes.
