Low Energy Density Foods: An Easy Road to Staying Fit and Healthy

LOW ENERGY DENSITY FOODS: AN EASY ROAD TO STAYING FIT AND HEALTHY CONSUMING A DIET HIGH IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IS ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER RISKS FOR NUMEROUS CHRONIC DISEASES, INCLUDING CANCER AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. A number of research studies support the conclusion that replacing foods of high energy density (high calorles per weight of food) with foods of lower energy density, such as frults and vegetables, can lead to a succesful and sustainable welght management. The key polnt is that frults and veggles are not only good for your health but also for your welght. ENERGY DENSITY ENERGY DENSITY: ENERGY DENSITY IS THE RELATIONSHIP OF CALORIES TO THE WEIGHT OF FOOD (CALORIES PER GRAM). Egg 1.4 ckal / gram Chocolate Coated Doughnut 3.7 ckal / gram MEDIUM ENERGY HIGH ENERGY Steak Top Sirloin 2.6 ckal / gram Vanilla Frosting Cake 4.5 ckal / gram Roasted Turkey (2 slices) 1.0 ckal / gram LOW Carrot 0.4 ckal / ENERGY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE EXCELLENT 3 SUBSTITUTES FOR HIGH ENERGY DENSITY FOODS. FOOD VOLUME IT'S THE VOLUME, NOT THE CALORIES, THAT MAKE US FEEL FULL. Short-term studies indicate that the volume rather than the calorie content of food people eat at a meal is what makes them feel full and stop eating. At the same calorle level, foods with low energy density provide a greater volume of food. 324ckal 4.5 OZ 1 Peperoni Pizza slice 324ckal 1 Tomato + 25.7 OZ 1 Cucumber + 1 Carrot + 2 Roasted Turkey Slices + 1 Egg + 1 Slice of Bread + 1 Bell Pepper Red + 1 Broccoli WATER ADDED TO FOOD INCRESEAS VOLUME AND THUS ITS OVERAL IMPACT ON FEELING FULL. Roasted Chicken Chicken Soup 75ckal 214ckal 4.9 OZ 8.5 OZ FRUITS CAN ENHANCE SATIETY, 6. ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSUMED WHOLE.
