Portion size and appetite control

Nutrition Bulletin has published (January 2019) a Virtual Issue on ‘Portion size and appetite control’, to coincide with the launch of the British Nutrition Foundation’s practical guide on portion sizes ‘Find Your Balance’, which complements the UK government’s Eatwell Guide. The Virtual Issue comprises nine papers by leading scientists and explores current knowledge about how appetite sensations and portion size choices influence energy (calorie) intake.
