Losing weight is hard, but you don\u2019t have to feel hungry all the time to get the weight loss results from your diet!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
In part one of this blog, we talked about NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), in part two we\u2019ll discuss:<\/p>\n

How to fill your plate with more food but still lose weight<\/p>\n
<\/i>\n <\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 Why tracking calories will help you<\/p>\n
<\/i>\n <\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 Why food choices matter<\/p>\n
<\/i>\n <\/div>\n
We\u2019ve either seen it on social media or had a friend or family member say that they\u2019re \u201ceating more than ever\u201d yet they\u2019ve lost 15lbs.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
How is this possible? If you need to burn more calories than you consume, wouldn\u2019t eating more food equal more calories?<\/p><\/div>\n
This is where food choices come into play. You see, foods can be categorized on a chart between low-energy high-volume and high-energy low-volume density food.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
Low-energy high-volume foods are foods that take up a lot of room but don\u2019t have a lot of calories. Things like: strawberries, chicken breast, kale, and broccoli.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
High-energy low-volume foods are foods that don\u2019t take up a lot of room but have a lot of calories like: candy bars, ice cream, french fries, and pizza.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
Now, before you jump on the \u201cgood food, bad food\u201d bandwagon. \u201cHealthy\u201d and \u201cunhealthy\u201d foods can be in both categories.<\/p><\/div>\n
For example, nuts and avocados are high-energy foods and very easy to overeat but are \u201chealthy\u201d foods.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
Halo Top ice cream and diet soda are low-energy foods and considered \u201cunhealthy\u201d but provide few or zero calories.<\/p><\/div>\n
What does this mean for you?\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
If you\u2019re trying to burn body fat, regardless of whether it\u2019s to just get down a few pants sizes or if you want six-pack abs, you want to<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
fill your plate with mostly low-energy high-volume foods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/b>\n <\/div>\n
Those foods are: lean meats and poultry, fish and seafood, fruits, and vegetables.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/b>\n <\/div>\n
So let\u2019s paint a picture so you can visualize this.<\/p><\/div>\n
A single York peppermint patty is 50 calories. 1 cup of strawberries is 50 calories.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
That cup of strawberries is 1) going to look like a lot more food and 2) take up more room in your stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/b>\n <\/div>\n
So what if you eat 4 peppermint patties? That\u2019s now 200 calories.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Well that\u2019s the equivalent of 1 cup of strawberries, 3oz chicken breast, and 2 cups of broccoli.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/b>\n <\/div>\n
4 peppermint patties won\u2019t fill you up at all and feels like it\u2019s only 50 calories. The strawberries, chicken, and broccoli seem like it would be 500 calories, but it\u2019s less than half.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
This is how you can eat MORE and lose weight. And it\u2019s also why you need to track foods in an app to figure how many calories are in those foods you eat everyday.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
