FOOD VOLUME

FOOD VOLUME VS CALORIE DENSITY

Having an understanding of this can often spark a light bulb moment. No matter your preferred eating style or perferences. Consider the amount of food you consume.

Not just in calories

Not just amount on your plate

But ponder them both. Very little in this world is absolute. So use these two concepts to your advantage.

For many people their eating or food consumption starts long before food enters their mouth. Our other senses and emotions are also involved. Couple that with relationship towards food.

Youve heard such things as eyes bigger than stomach etc.

The visual aspect plays a role, our sense of smell plays a role. Our emotions will often determine what we reach for if unchecked.

So there is a balance to be had. If you want something satisfying in size (volume) go for low calorie options that tick the quantity box but contain high nutrients and valuable nutrition.

If you are wanting more calorific options then it may be smaller in size (volume) but just as satisfying providing you have control.

You dont have to do one or the other. You can flit between them both.

Understanding both of these elements and how you can use them in your daily life to better suit your lifestyle may serve you well.
