Empty Calorie Foods
Most empty-calorie foods are highly processed that contain added fat and sugar. [Cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, puddings, doughnuts, fries, jams, syrups, jelly, sweetened fruit drinks, breaded fried burgers and ice cream.]
Nutrient Dense Foods
Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat or fat-free milk and dairy products, nuts, beans, seeds, turkey, chicken, fish and lean cuts of meats. These foods provide fewer calories but are excellent sources of nutrients.
Gradually increase one and decrease the other until you reach a balanced level. This would lead to decrease, increase or maintain your weight depending on your Body Mass Index.
