***The Principles of Calorie Density***
Hunger and Satiety- Eat only when you are hungry and until you are comfortably full. Avoid starving or stuffing yourself.
Meal Sequence- Start all meals with a salad, soup and/or fruit. That will allow you to fill up with foods that are the lowest in calorie density.
Liquid Calories- Chew your calories and avoid drinking or liquefying them. Liquids do not fill you up as much as solid foods of equal calories.
Dilute the calorie density of your meals by filling half of your plate (by visual volume) with non-starchy vegetables and/or fruit and the other half with starchy vegetables, intact whole grains and/or legumes.
Vegetables vs. Fats- Non-starchy vegetables are the lowest in calorie density while fat and oil are the highest. Adding non-starchy vegetables to any dish will lower the overall calorie density of a meal, while adding even small amounts of fat and/or oil will raise its overall calorie density.
Calorie-Dense Foods– Limit/Avoid calorie-dense foods which include dried fruit, high-fat plant foods (nuts, seeds, avocados) and some processed whole grains (bread, bagels, crackers, dry cereal, tortilla, puffed cereals, popcorn). If used, incorporate these foods into meals that are made up predominately of low-calorie-dense foods.
