Portion Distortion (Gain Frame)

BIGGER IS BETTER!!!

…right?

"Would you like to upgrade your drink to the Large size for just 25 cents?"

Nowadays, increasingly with inflation, everyone's looking for the best bargain for their buck. But when you do the “upgrade,” do you ever ask yourself how costly that "bargain" really is?

A 1986 to 2016 study revealed that fast-food restaurants have been increasing their portion sizes throughout the decades at an astonishing rate. Portion sizes have increased by a whopping (no pun intended) 226%! Cut your Big Mac, Whopper, or Club sandwich in half and that’s how hamburgers were sold just a few decades ago!

But if food is more than twice the size, why are we eating so much?

A concept known as "portion distortion" explains that our hunger cues are ruled more externally than by our internal body cues to determine when we are "full."

We eat all of the food on our plate, even when we reach past “fullness.” When we order a huge Big Mac combo coming with large fries and a large soda, we don’t question how many people it should truly serve. Forget that, let’s eat!!

Try this the next time you have a meal:

Pay attention to:

the way your food tastes while you chew

how your body feels while eating

how full you feel as you eat

This will help you be more mindful of the way you feel after a meal and help you achieve healthier portions for your body.

Knowing your BMR can help you avoid unnecessary calories and achieve a healthier intake of food!

BMR for female-aligned bodies = (10 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) – (5 x age in years) – 161

BMR for male-aligned bodies = (10 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) – (5 x age in years) + 5

Rays shine down on the growing makeshift memorial for Mr. Chi Pig at the recently-shuttered Pub 340, which was Chi’s base of operations, where he created his art and made his last live performances. After the mural at Funky’s was removed last week, this one began to grow - although some parts have already been covered up since earlier in the week. I hope this one stays around a while - Ken deserves that, at the very least. #ripchipig #ripkenchinn #mrchipig #chipig #pub340 (at The Pub 340) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDDKeL9heKj/?igshid=1ik436vjk7zlg
