What I have noticed with doing more than 30 minutes of exercise (i.e. aerobics), causes my appetite to increase. That is when the definition of a bite starts to get skewed.

Al,

Thank you for your response, that put it into perspective for me. There are times I do fill full after 4 bites and was unsure on the final bite. So now I know that it is okay to stop and try to be consistant on the number of bites.
