A popular New Year’s Resolution is to eat better. Candida Rebello, the director of the nutrition and chronic disease program at LSU’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center, says when choosing foods, look for foods that are low in energy density – those are foods that have high dietary fiber content and high-water content…
Cut 3 (15) “…without adding calories.”
To increase your fiber intake, try to cover at least half of your plate with fruits and vegetables.
Rebello says people tend to eat based on the size of the portion and not by the calorie content. So for the same 100 calories, you can eat a large portion of some foods or a tiny portion of others.
Cut 4 (13) “…lot more food.”
Rebello says when choosing grains, whole grain bread is high in dietary fiber.
Cut 5 (10) “…want to choose.”
