Abstract in brief

The sensory experience of eating influences food intake not just through how pleasurable the food is (palatability), but also through cues like sight, smell, taste, and texture that affect our choices, portion sizes, and feelings of fullness.
Visual and odour cues help us recognize and select foods, and they also play a role in remembering eating experiences and regulating how much we consume, while tastes and textures impact how much we eat and when we feel satiated.
Future research should focus on combining sensory features with lower energy content in foods to better control energy intake and explore how these strategies can help with long-term weight management.
