Don’t Share Your Food

Sharing plates may still be de rigueur in contemporary restaurants, but a study from the State University of New York at Buffalo has shown that men who ate with a group of mates downed 6% more calories than when they ate with a partner. According to the research, that’s because people often match their intake of food to that of their dining companions. Of course, it may also be related to the fact that chicken wings and buffalo sauce are pretty calorific. Try eating before you go out for drinks.
