"Help, My fiance makes me eat too much!"

It's proven that how much you eat is directly proportional to how many people are eating with you. If you eat with one other person, apparently you eat 25% more than you would if you ate alone. You + 2? 50% more. This would mean that if you eat about 1800 calories a day and eat with 2 others just 3 times a week, within 2 weeks you'll have gained over a pound.
