A growing body of laboratory-based, clinical, and epidemiological data suggests that low-
energy-dense diets are associated with better diet quality, lower energy intakes, and body …

Background: Laboratory-based investigations indicate that the consumption of foods with a
low energy density (kcal/g) decreases energy intake. Although low-energy-dense diets are …

SYNOPSIS A number of dietary patterns, both macronutrient and food based, can lead to
weight loss. A key strategy for weight management that can be applied across dietary …

The increase in the prevalence of obesity has coincided with an increase in portion sizes of
foods both inside and outside the home, suggesting that larger portions may play a role in …

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated food choices made by individuals consuming diets
differing in energy density and explores relationships between energy density and diet …

Low-energy-density diets are often recommended for weight control. Such diets have a
higher nutrient content than do high-energy-density diets. This study tested the hypothesis …

Studies conducted by behavioural scientists show that the energy density (kcal/g) of food
provides effective guidance for healthy food choices to control intake and promote satiety …

BACKGROUND: Consuming lower-energy-density foods is one recommended strategy for
management of body weight. This cross-sectional study used retail food prices to test the …

Objective: The energy density (kilocalories per gram) of foods influences short‐term energy
intake. This 1‐year clinical trial tested the effect on weight loss of a diet incorporating one or …

Background: When the portion size and energy density (in kcal/g) of a food are varied
simultaneously in a single meal, each influences energy intake independently. Objective …
