Which is NOT typically considered an external eating cue?

• A. Smell of Bread
• B. Seeing a Billboard With a Fast-Food Ad
• C. Feeling Fullness in the Stomach
• D. Presence of Others Eating

Answer: (C)

External cues come from the environment and others—things you see, smell, or people around you—while internal cues come from your body's own signals. The smell of bread and a fast-food billboard prompt eating because they’re environmental stimuli. The presence of others eating is also an external, social cue that can influence you to eat. Feeling fullness in the stomach, on the other hand, is a bodily signal that you are satiated, indicating an internal cue. Since the question asks for what is not external, the fullness signal is the correct choice.
