Question 1

What is calorie density and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Calorie density is the amount of calories per gram of food. Foods with low calorie density (like vegetables and fruits) help you feel full while consuming fewer calories, making them ideal for weight management. High calorie density foods (like nuts and oils) are energy-dense and should be eaten in moderation.
