Description
Mayron Piccolo and six co-workers wrote a 2026 study on errors people make when judging food portion sizes. Good portion sense supports healthy eating. The team tested healthy-weight adults with no psychiatric history. Judges rated food images for themselves and for others.
Whether the portion was for self or others did not sway the errors. Errors did track with dietary restraint scores, the head of the abstract shows. Shape and weight concerns were among the other traits checked. Body mass index was tested as a further correlate. The work is exploratory, mapping mind traits to a daily judgment task.
