Priority of Eating in Portions
Question
Hello,
According to the instruction of a rabbi, I need to eat in portions on Yom Kippur. Is there any difference or preference between the foods according to Halacha?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
There is no halachic difference between the foods, but there is a significant practical difference.
Since the measurement of foods is by volume, generally eating less than a kezayit, or about a quarter slice of bread, or two to three pieces of Bamba, or a whole 'Lachmit' cracker. Their volume is the same, but the cracker is much more nourishing, so one who eats in portions should be careful to eat dense foods with small volume and not eat foods with large volume that are not nourishing.
Wishing you a complete recovery and an easy fast
