M = mean, SD = standard deviation, X-X = minimum and maximum values. BMI (body mass index) = measured weight (kg)/height (m)2. Usual portion size values are how participants' self-reported usual portion size correspond to manufacturer recommended serving size (e.g. 1.0 = same as recommended serving, 2.0 = twice the size of recommended serving). Restrained, Emotional and External eating are scored on 1–5 scales. Plate clearing tendencies are scored on a 1–5 scale, Food waste concerns are scored on a 1–7 scale. Self-control is scored on a 1–5 scale. Satiety responsiveness is scored on a 1–4 scale. Higher scores indicate increased tendencies for all measures.
