Impact+of+eating+fast

**Abstract**
Fat people do not usually know that they are fast eaters. Slow eaters usually have fullness while they are eating, but fast eaters keep desiring food although they are done with eating. I wanted to know how much the speed of eating influenced people' calories. I tested few people to know how it influenced. For example, at the dinner table, every one had same amount of food.However, fast eater already finished half of one's meal while slow eater just started to eat. Fast eater ended up with more calories than slow eater. Fast eater even had a tendency to more eat because they did not fill full enough for their stomach.

Purpose
- The purpose of this experiment is to see how many calories we get more when we eat quickly.

Research
- When we are on diet, we should not skip a meal. Eating frequently prevents hunger pangs and the binges that follow, provides consistent energy, and may be the single most effective way to maintain metabolism efficiency.Eating slowly gives our bodies time to tell us they are full before we've eaten more than we need. []

Hypothesis
- If we eat quickly, then we will get more calories than people who eat slowly because we feel fullness while we are eating meal so we eat less.

Independent
- The same amount of food

Dependent
- calories/ bites of food

Materials
- food, watch

Procedure
1. Select three people that I will test include me. 2. Make sure we all get same amount of food at dinner table. 3. Measure time while we are eating. 4. Measure the bite that they ate to know the amount of food eaten 5. Calculate their calories after the dinner.

Result
Beginning weight 10/03/11
 * me || 103.4pounds ||
 * A || 143 pounds ||
 * B || 127 pounds ||

The average of time that each one spends during the dinner.
 * me || 15minutes ||
 * A || 30minutes ||
 * B || 17minutes ||

Final weight 10/29/11 Difference between two datas
 * < me ||< 106pounds ||
 * < A ||< 145pounds ||
 * < B ||< 134pounds ||
 * me || gain 2.59pounds ||
 * A || gain 2pounds ||
 * B || gain 7pounds ||

Conclusion
- My hypothesis should be correct but I cannot say that now because my experience was totally wrong. I supposed to measure how much calories they gained, but I eventually measured the weight that they gained after dinner. Mrs.G told me that weight cannot be the accurate measurement because it varies. Weight varies depend on gender, age, people's body type and amount of exercising that they did. In my case, I gain more weight than my brother does. Although he eats at mid night, he never seems to gain weight. Therefore, measuring weight was not a great idea to figure out how speed of eating influenced people. Next time, I am going to measure their calories instead of weight.
