Impact of Ultra Processed Foods and Eating Behavior on Caloric Intake
Studies have shown that people consume about 600 more calories per day when consuming ultra processed foods compared to whole natural foods with similar macros. Ultra processed foods are more palatable leading to overeating whereas whole foods are more satiating and limit calorie intake. By avoiding ultra processed foods, individuals can witness a significant weight loss. Additional behavioral changes such as avoiding distractions while eating and consuming protein first can further reduce caloric intake and improve satiety levels.
