Make weight loss easy – with calorie density
What is calorie density?
It is simply the measure of how many calories are in a given weight of the food. For example 1 pound of potato chips contain approximately 2400 calories vs. 1 pound of apples is 236 calories. Which one of these foods will keep you full for longer with least amount of calories? Once you learn to eat this way, weight loss and weight management becomes so easy.
