The bowls are used to help estimate the volume of amorphous foods such as vegetables, fruits, and popcorn; liquid foods such as soup, and solid foods such as ground meat.

When the bowls are used, the amounts reported should be within the rim capacity of the model. The Respondent will be asked to report the fill line (A-D). If the respondent reports an amount that is protruding from the top, he/she will be instructed to estimate using another model.
