SALT LAKE CITY -- Researchers from the University of Utah have found when eating at a restaurant, diners who wish to eat less food should eat with a larger fork.

David Eccles School of Business professors Arul Mishra and Himanshu Mishra co-authored the paper "The Influence of Bite-size on Quantity of Food Consumed: A Field Study," with a doctoral student, Tamara M. Masters. They investigated how bite size influences overall consumption and found that people eating out at a restaurant who use a smaller fork to take smaller bites of their meal actually end up consuming more food overall.
