Shared plate eating is a defining feature of the way food is consumed in some countries and cultures. Food may be portioned to another serving vessel or directly consumed into the mouth from a centralised dish rather than served individually onto a discrete plate for each person. Shared plate eating is common in some low- and lower-middle income countries (LLMIC). The aim of this narrative review was to synthesise research that has reported on the assessment of dietary intake from shared plate eating, investigate specific aspects such as individual portion size or consumption from shared plates and use of technology in order to guide future development work in this area. Variations of shared plate eating that were identified in this review included foods consumed directly from a central dish or shared plate food, served onto additional plates shared by two or more people. In some settings, a hierarchical sharing structure was reported whereby different family members eat in turn from the shared plate. A range of dietary assessment methods have been used in studies assessing shared plate eating with the most common being 24-h recalls. The tools reported as being used to assist in the quantification of food intake from shared plate eating included food photographs, portion size images, line drawings, and the carrying capacity of bread, which is often used rather than utensils. Overall few studies were identified that have assessed and reported on methods to assess shared plate eating, highlighting the identified gap in an area of research that is important in improving understanding of, and redressing dietary inadequacies in LLMIC.
共用餐盘是一些国家和文化中食物消费的一个显著特征。食物可以分至另一个容器中，也可以直接从中央餐盘送到口中，而不是每个人都有自己的独立餐盘。这种共用餐盘的方式在一些低收入和中低收入国家（LLMIC）很常见。本综述的目的是综合已有的关于从共用餐盘进食中评估饮食摄入量的研究，调查个体份量或从共用盘子中消费的具体方面，并使用技术，以指导该领域的未来发展工作。本文中确定的共用餐盘进食的变化包括直接从中央盘子或共享盘子中食用的食物，以及分至由两个人或更多人共享的额外盘子中。在一些环境中，报告了一种分层共享结构，不同的家庭成员轮流从共享盘子中进食。在评估共用餐盘进食的研究中，使用了多种饮食评估方法，最常见的是 24 小时回顾法。用于协助从共用餐盘进食中定量摄入食物的工具包括食物照片、份量图像、线条图以及面包的承载能力，面包在这些环境中经常被使用，而不是餐具。总的来说，很少有研究评估和报告了评估共用餐盘进食的方法，突出了该领域研究中的差距，这对于提高对 LLMIC 中饮食不足的理解和纠正至关重要。
