    Study Notes

    Low-Energy-Density Foods

    • Prioritize foods that are high in water and fiber to increase volume without significantly increasing calories.
    • Low-energy-density foods help in managing weight by promoting satiety while reducing energy intake.
    • Examples include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, which provide essential nutrients with fewer calories.

    Strategies for Weight Management

    • Increase portion sizes of low-energy-density foods to feel fuller without consuming excess calories.
    • Lower fat content in meals to effectively reduce total energy intake, as fats are more calorie-dense compared to carbohydrates and proteins.
    • Combining high-fiber foods with low-fat options can improve digestion and enhance weight control efforts.

    Benefits of Low-Energy-Density Diet

    • Encourages healthier eating habits by incorporating more nutrient-rich, lower-calorie options.
    • Supports sustainable weight loss by focusing on food volume rather than strict calorie counting.
    • Can lead to overall improved dietary quality and better health outcomes.
