If you want to lose weight and reduce body fat, whole grains are a wonderful food option for a healthy weight loss diet, as they have a low calorie-content and a high satiety factor. In general, calorie-controlled diets (and the latest Dietary Guidelines For Americans) recommend a high intake of whole grains. 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. Healthy diet nutrition makes calorie control and weight management easier and helps you to follow a healthy eating plan. See also Nutrition in Whole Grains/Flour
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 eat more whole grain foods, for their high satiety value. Also, remember that all physical exercise helps to increase energy-expenditure and thus allows you to eat more with less risk of gaining weight.
