Calorie Density Calculator
Calorie density refers to the amount of calories in a given weight or volume of food. Foods with high calorie density contain more calories in a smaller portion, while foods with low calorie density provide fewer calories for the same portion size. Understanding calorie density can help in making healthier choices, especially for weight loss, as you can select foods that are filling but lower in calories.
Calorie Density Ranges:
- Low Calorie Density: Foods with less than 1.5 calories per gram (e.g., fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups).
- Medium Calorie Density: Foods with 1.5 to 4 calories per gram (e.g., whole grains, lean proteins).
- High Calorie Density: Foods with more than 4 calories per gram (e.g., nuts, oils, processed snacks).
