HOW MUCH FOOD SHOULD BE CONSUMED?

The Beloved Prophet śallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam has stated,

A person does not fill a container worse than his stomach. Merely a few morsels are sufficient for a person to maintain a straight back. If he cannot adhere to this, then one third (1/3) [of the stomach] should be for food, one third for water and one third for air.[1]
