Calorie Density
Thought for the day:
Why are some foods better than others? Research has

Your body doesn’t count calories — instead, it responds to the volume of food
in your stomach. Fool your brain into satiety by choosing foods that have a lot
of bulk but few calories — like fruits, vegetables and popcorn. This principle
doesn’t just apply to snacks — a piece of fruit, a leafy green salad or a cup
of soup before a meal will help you eat less during that meal too.
