Adherence
Packaging size, design, and convenience directly influence consumption volume, with larger packages and convenient access leading to increased intake, particularly for overweight consumers.
Be aware that larger packages lead to eating more, even if you are not hungry. Divide large packages into individual servings immediately after purchase and store the rest out of sight. Do not eat directly from the package.
