[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 774, member: 1"] [URL='https://consumer.healthday.com/vitamins-and-nutrition-information-27/food-and-nutrition-news-316/a-better-way-to-look-at-food-740461.html'][B] A Better Way to Look at Food - HealthDay[/B][/URL] A "low-energy-dense food diet" sounds like just another weight loss fad, but it's an approach with decades of research behind it. The concept is simple: Eat more foods with a higher water content to get more volume for fewer calories. Energy density is simply the amount of energy -- or calories -- in a gram of a food. Foods can be very low-, low-, medium- or high-energy density. Butter, for instance, is a high-density food with 180 calories in 20 grams. Watermelon is very low, with just 7 calories in 20 grams. Portion size is another way to see the difference. For example, one and a half juicy oranges have the same number of calories as a mere three pretzel rods. [/QUOTE]
