They all ate as much as the wanted.

LXXX. Ubi Ihesus in deserto de quinque panibus ·V· milia hominum saturavit.
(Where Jesus, in the desert, with five loaves, satisfied five thousand men.)

79: 13
When Jesus had heard of this, he retired from thence by a boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.
14
And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

80: 1
And when it was evening, the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that, going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.
2
But Jesus said to these: They have no need to go: give them something to eat.
3
Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little.
4
And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him: There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these among so many, unless perhaps, we should go and buy food for all this multitude. He said to them: Bring them hither to me.
5
And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass, and they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
6
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them: and he broke and distributed to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments. And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.
{7
And forthwith he commanded his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, to Bethsaida, until he dismissed the people.
8
Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet that is to come into the world. Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force and make him king, fled, and having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. }
