The process of eating a small meal before you eat in order to work your way into a larger meal. This process is beneficial to prevent an upset stomach when one is extremely hungry, or to ensure that one does not spend too much buying a larger meal in order to satiate hunger. This process is not to be confused with snacking; pre-eating deals more with meals in smaller portions like appetizers or small microwavable meals.
