The role of perceived stress and gender on portion selection patterns by Cheon, Bobby Kyungbeom, Lim, E. X., Sim, A. Y., Forde, C. G.

“…Across two studies, increased perceived stress predicted larger (higher energy) intended portion sizes across a variety of food items among females, but not males. Additionally, for females, increased perceived stress was associated with lowered expectations of the satiety of foods presented, suggesting a potential mechanism by which stress may influence decisions about portion size. …”
