Why Restaurant Portions Get Bigger During the Winter Season
• Restaurants tend to increase portion sizes in winter to meet the demand for comfort food driven by biological and psychological factors.
• Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and increased appetite for carbohydrates contribute to the desire for larger, richer meals during the colder months.
• Being mindful of portion sizes and making conscious choices can help maintain a healthy diet despite the seasonal increase in food offerings.
