What is soundly narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is that he urged people to eat little and not to eat more than they need.
- Saying Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim before EatingIt is better to limit it to saying Bismillah when starting to eat, and not add anything to it. But if one does add to it by saying Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim, there is nothing wrong with that according to the majority of scholars.125,124

Implicit permission is the same as explicit permission.909
