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.
