Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Effect of Portion Size and Ingestive Frequency on Energy Intake and Body Weight among Adults in Randomized Controlled Feeding Trials

Kelly A. Higgins et al.

Summary: Portion size and ingestive frequency have independent effects on energy intake among healthy adults. Larger portion sizes and increased frequency of ingestive events are associated with higher daily energy intake. However, there is insufficient evidence to determine the chronic effects on body weight.

Perspective: How to Develop Nutrient Profiling Models Intended for Global Use: A Manual

Adam Drewnowski et al.

Summary: Nutrient profiling models aim to assess the nutritional quality of foods based on energy content and nutrient composition, but they need to be adjusted for use in low- and middle-income countries to address issues such as undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. Models focusing on beneficial nutrients may be more suitable for these countries, and they also need to consider food fortification to address the balance between excess empty calories and inadequate nutrients at the population level.
