The Variety in a Meal Makes Us Eat More
Many times, especially festive, the food supply is varied and although feel satisfied when we offer a new snack, we can not deny, that is, continue with the food intake which eventually results in a consumption high.

Therefore, the variety in a meal makes us eat more.
Although the variety in the diet is important to meet the needs of all nutrients, it should not be on the same meal, because when we are sated with food, continue with another and so on to try a little of everything, which eventually translates into higher intake if we only have a single dish on the table.

That is, at a dinner, it would be inappropriate to offer 3 or 4 different preparations, but if these dishes can spread throughout the day to contribute to a varied diet without stimulating the appetite and eat more than you really need.
When we attend a local sale of food and there, we can choose according to our tastes of a wide and varied range of preparations, it is likely to eat more than if you only ordered a pasta dish.
