A Happy Fork for Happy Eaters?

I just learned about the HAPIfork which tracks your eating patterns: such as number of forkfuls, time between mouthfuls and total eating time. I like the idea because most people eat very automatically and without awareness. However, one interesting thing I read about the tool is that it sends out a warning if you go over a certain number of forkfuls, which they have set to 75 for one meal. Seventy-five forkfuls!!! I don't think I eat 75 forkfuls in an entire day.

Portion size can definitely be an issue for folks and so many of us eat past the point of satiety. How many forkfuls do you think you eat per meal? Try counting sometime......
