smaller pieces.
On its website, ABC News

Behavior, investigators "gave 301 hungry college students either a whole
bagel or the same bagel cut into four separate pieces."

(7/11, DeNoon) reports, "The group that got the whole bagel ate a
little more of it than those who got the cut-up bagel. But the real
difference came 20 minutes later, when all of the students were offered a
free meal." The researchers found that "those who'd eaten the cut-up
bagel -- even though they'd eaten a little less -- ate less of the free
meal."
