If a person does not estimate food quantity, how may portion control be affected?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The chance of overeating may increase
Portion control requires awareness of how much food is served and eaten. Without estimating or measuring quantity, a person may unknowingly take oversized servings, repeat servings, or underestimate energy-dense foods. Using smaller plates, standard cups, the plate method, and checking serving sizes can improve awareness. Therefore, overeating is the likely risk.
