יומא פרק ח׳ משנה ב׳
The mishna elaborates: One who eats a large date-bulk of food, equivalent to a date and its pit, or who drinks a cheekful of liquid on Yom Kippur is liable to receive the punishment of karet for failing to fulfill the mitzva to afflict oneself on Yom Kippur. All foods that one eats join together to constitute a date-bulk; and all liquids that one drinks join together to constitute a cheekful. However, if one eats and drinks, the food and beverage do not join together to constitute a measure that determines liability, as each is measured separately.
הָאוֹכֵל כְּכוֹתֶבֶת הַגַּסָּה, כָּמוֹהָ וּכְגַרְעִינָתָהּ, וְהַשּׁוֹתֶה מְלֹא לֻגְמָיו, חַיָּב. כָּל הָאֳכָלִין מִצְטָרְפִין לִכְכוֹתֶבֶת. כָּל הַמַּשְׁקִין מִצְטָרְפִין לִמְלֹא לֻגְמָיו. הָאוֹכֵל וְשׁוֹתֶה, אֵין מִצְטָרְפִין:

ככותבת. תמרה גסה. והיא פחות מכביצה. ואף ע״ג דכל שעורי אכילה בכזית היינו משום דכתיב בהו אכילה אבל הכא דלא כתיב אלא אשר לא תעונה גמירי דבבציר מככותבת לא מיתבא דעתיה והוי מעונה. ומיהו קיי״ל דחצי שעור אסור מן התורה אלא שאין חייבין כרת ולא לוקין אלא על כשיעור:
כמלא לוגמיו. כל שאילו יסלקנו לצד אחד יהיה אותו הצד בולט ונראה נקרא מלא לוגמיו. ושעור זה באדם בינוני הוא פחות מרביעית:
ככותבת – a huge date, which is smaller than an egg. And even though that all measures of eating are like an olive, this is because it is written regarding them as food, but here, as it is not written other than that (Leviticus 23:29): “Indeed, any person who does not practice self-denial [throughout that day shall be cut off from his kin],” we learn that less than like a date [in size], one does not make one come to it (see Talmud Yoma 81a) and it is self-denial. But however, we hold that one half of this measurement is prohibited from the [text of the] Torah but they are not liable for extirpation nor are they flogged other than according to the measure.
כמלא לוגמיו – all that if he had removed it to one side,, that side would protrude and appear, it is called “a mouthful/quantity of liquid filling one cheek” And this measure is with an average person which is less than one-quarter of a LOG.
