If you need to lose weight, home-made soup is a great food option for a healthy weight loss diet, as it has a low calorie-content. In general, calorie-controlled diets recommend a high intake of home-made soup. In addition to energy content, dietary nutrition is also important, as a nutritious diet helps the body to burn calories faster and maintains a healthy metabolic rate. Therefore as well as calorie-counting, check food labels for nutritional value. Nutritional and energy values provided on most of the above food pages include: vitamins, minerals, folate and dietary fiber, as well as protein and carbs. Knowing about diet nutrition makes calorie control and weight management easier and helps you to follow a healthy eating plan. See also Nutrition in Soup
Calorie savings tip: If you are counting calories because you are on a weight loss diet plan, the best way to lower energy intake is to check food labels and choose soup/broth with a lower fat content. Also, remember that any physical exercise helps to increase calorie-expenditure and thus allows you to eat chowders and other higher-calorie types of soup with less risk of weight gain.
