(see ekasanika dhutayga).

The individual who is an intermediate practitioner of the ekasanika dhutayga can accept some extra food after having started his meal, provided there does remain some food in his recipient (bowl, plate, etc.)

Such a practitioner is called a "bhojanapariyantika", which means "the one who reaches the end (of his meal) once there is no more food left (in his recipient)".
