If you're looking to work on your eating practice, I suggest eating when you're hungry and only when you're hungry. Don't eat at any particular time of day. Make sure you're truly hungry. Some of us don't even know what that feels like anymore because we eat so often.

As a further challenge, try to stop eating as soon as you no longer feel hungry (and be sure to eat slowly). Some of us don't stop until we've finished our massive portion regardless of how full we feel. You may be surprised to see just how little food you need to consume in order to satiate hunger.

I gathered that you'll only start to feel sated after about 20 minutes after starting to eat, so yeah, eating slowly would definitely help. Of course, limiting portions to what you actually need instead of a seemingly infinite stack of food will also help.
