Could smaller snack portions be similarly effective in decreasing cravings or feelings of hunger as larger portions? To answer this, three common snack foods - chocolate, apple pie, potato chips - were given to 104 participants as either a small portion (x) or a substantially larger portion (5-10x). Results indicate that smaller portions satisfied one¡¯s ratings of hunger and craving similar to larger portions, but led to a mean intake that was significantly lower than in the large portion condition (with a difference of 103 calories). This suggests that 15 min after eating a considerably smaller snack, people will have eaten much less but will feel equally satisfied.
