Buffets at weddings or hotels — how do you try many dishes without overeating?

At wedding or hotel buffets people want to sample a bit of everything but often leave stuffed or bored with rice and dal. When faced with chaat, kebabs, multiple curries, rice, breads and sweets, what’s your strategy for building a plate that lets you taste things without overeating?

Practical, evidence‑backed rules: 1) Eat a small protein/fibre snack (yogurt, fruit+nuts) 1–2 hours before to blunt extreme hunger. 2) Build a tasting plate: start with salads/veg, then sample protein-rich items (kebabs, dal), pick one starch (rice or roti) and take tiny tastes (1–2 tbsp) of rich curries/sweets. 3) Slow down: wait ~15–20 minutes before seconds (satiety signals lag). 4) Share plates/desserts, limit alcohol, and avoid filling up on bread/rice. These steps use satiety and portion control to let you taste more without overeating.
