TLDR
The results demonstrate that the meal patterns of humans are regular, measurable and generalizable and can be analyzed to reveal lawful relationships between intake and the physiological, environmental, and subjective state of the individual.

The amount eaten in meals by humans is a power function of the number of people present

TL;DR: The influence of social factors on the eating behaviors of humans was investigated by paying 153 adults to maintain 7-day diaries of everything they ingested and the number of other people present to suggest social facilitation of naturally occurring meal intake by humans is an extremely potent influence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Family and friends produce greater social facilitation of food intake than other companions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of other people at a meal increases intake by extending the time spent at the meal, probably as a result of social interaction, and family and friends have an even larger effect, probably by producing relaxation and a consequent disinhibition of restraint on intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social facilitation of the spontaneous meal size of humans occurs regardless of time, place, alcohol or snacks☆

TL;DR: The results suggest that the correlation results from a true social facilitation of eating and that this facilitation is an important determinant of eating regardless of whether alcohol is ingested with the meal, a snack or a meal is eaten and regardless of when or where it is eaten.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social facilitation of duration and size but not rate of the spontaneous meal intake of humans.

TL;DR: The amount eaten by humans in spontaneously ingested meals is positively correlated with the number of other people present and the presence of others was found to be associated with the duration of meals and not the rate of intake as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral processing characteristics of solid savoury meal components, and relationship with food composition, sensory attributes and expected satiation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that bite size and oral-sensory exposure time could contribute to higher satiation within a meal for equal calories.

Regulation of energy intake and the body weight: the glucostatic theory and the lipostatic hypothesis.

TL;DR: With the collaboration of Anliker, an experimental psychologist versed in the “Skinner box” techniques, the study of the probability of response to exposure to food and on the frequency of work for food of normal mice, as well as of littermates with the hereditary obese hyperglycemic syndrome, goldthioglucose obesity, and hypothalamic obesity is undertaken.

The volume and energy content of meals as determinants of gastric emptying.

J N Hunt, +1 more
TL;DR: The slowing of gastric emptying with a meal of high nutritive density was not sufficient to prevent an increased rate of delivery of energy to the duodenum (nutritive density times volume delivered in unit time) with a Meal of high nutritional density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validity of the 24-hr. dietary recall and seven-day record for group comparisons.

TL;DR: Validity results suggest that the recall is prone to over-reporting low intakes and under-reporting high intakes, a pattern referred to as the "flat-slope syndrome".
Journal ArticleDOI

Free Feeding in normal and “recovered lateral” rats monitored by a pellet-detecting eatometer

TL;DR: It was concluded that both internal and external factors control spontaneous meal patterns, and that the lateral hypothalamus is essential for the maintenance of the regularity in sizes and temporal distribution of spontaneous meals.
