| # If one ate bread and is full, preferably one should make [[Birkat HaMazon]] within 72 minutes and after the fact, one may make it as long as one is full from what one ate. However, after 72 minutes, if one is a little hungry, one can no longer make the [[Birkat HaMazon]]. <Ref> S”A 184:5 writes that one may [[Birkat HaMazon]] until one is hungry again. Vezot HaBracha (pg 49, chapter 5) and Yalkut Yosef ([[Brachot]] pg 300) rule that if one didn’t make [[Birkat HaMazon]] until after 72 minutes, one may surely recite [[Birkat HaMazon]] as long as one is still full and one isn't hungry. Vezot HaBracha quotes Rav Elyashiv who says that it’s preferable to eat a little more before making [[Birkat HaMazon]]. Aruch HaShulchan 184:7 and 8 writes that since we don't know the precise determination of when we're still full must make [[Birkat HaMazon]] within 72 minutes and if one didn't then one should eat another [[Kezayit]] and then say [[Birkat HaMazon]]. Kaf HaChaim 184:28 writes that in order to fulfill all opinions if it has been 72 minutes one should eat another [[Kezayit]] and if one doesn't have bread one may make [[Birkat HaMazon]] as long as one is full.</ref>

| # If it’s past 72 minutes and one is in doubt whether one is still full one can make [[Birkat HaMazon]], yet, it’s preferable to eat another [[Kezayit]] before making Birkat Hamazon. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 184:15, Vezot HaBracha (pg 49, chapter 5) </ref>

| # However, if one just had a [[Kezayit]] and was not full, one should try to make the [[Birkat HaMazon]] right away and if one didn't one may only make [[Birkat HaMazon]] up to 72 minutes after one ate. <ref> Yalkut Yosef ([[Brachot]] pg 300), Mishna Brurah 184:20 </ref> Some add that if one waited more than a half hour it's preferable to have another [[Kezayit]] of bread before making [[Birkat HaMazon]]. <ref>Vezot HaBracha (chap 5, pg 50) </ref>

| # If one has a very long meal and continues to have appetizers or drinks, one may make the [[Birkat HaMazon]] as long as the meal continues even 4 or 5 hours. <ref> Mishna Brurah 184:18, Vezot HaBracha (chap 5, pg 50), Yalkut Yosef ([[Brachot]] pg 301) </ref> One should have something to eat or drink every 72 minutes, however, if one didn't then one may still say [[Birkat HaMazon]]. <ref>Vezot HaBracha (chap 5, pg 51) quoting the Magen Avraham 184:9 </ref>
