Some studies show that people who systematically finish their meals are generally at greater risk of obesity. However, restrictive parental practices regarding quantities consumed are just as likely. The key to balanced dietary intake is an integral part of the nutritional recommendations: respect your feelings of hunger and satiety to guide the quantities you help yourself to and consume. If you think you may have problems with your weight or eating habits, don't hesitate to consult your doctor.
