Re: US News & World Report: Eat More, Weigh Less

[Guest guest]

This is great. I hope a lot of people read this book. Reading the

her first book on Volumetrics gave me my first really good ideas how

to CR without hunger discomfort. Eat to Live finished that puzzle for

me, particularly how to do the ON part without pain.

Hi folks:

The article seems to me to be ambiguous about which is the best

definition (i.e the most practically relevant definition) of energy

density.

Is it calories per unit WEIGHT? Or calories per unit VOLUME?

I would think the latter is probably better. But early in the

article she (Rolls, what a name!) seems to define it as the former.

But then she calls it 'volumetrics'. So which is it?

In other words, should we (in addition to measuring nutrient density -

micronutrients per calorie) be measuring foods on a basis of

weight? Or volume? Put another way, do our stomachs feel full based

on the weight of food in them, or volume the food takes up?

This seems like an important little detail.
