Fat people tend to dramatically underestimate exactly how much they
actually eat, and exactly how many calories there are in what they eat.

I think it's because the choices of foods tend to leave them still
*feeling* hungry, so they feel like they've only had a little bit.
Therefore, if they are still hungry, then, they MUST have only
eaten a small amount, right? In my mind it was like that.

Unless they record amounts of food eaten to determine the
caloric value, they're not sure, exactly.

(This was the case for me). It's not like they're intentionally
being misleading. But, for me, piles and piles of rice stir fry
still left me feeling empty even though it is quite high in calories.

It's hard to say how much of this error is deliberate and how much is
inadvertent, but the error is often very large.

I'd say quite inadvertent, for me.
